?? Job Description:
We?re looking for a skilled Python developer to create a script that connects to the UPS API, retrieves tracking data for recent shipments, and flags packages that were delivered late according to UPS delivery guarantees (making them eligible for a refund).
This script will help us automate refund requests for late deliveries.
?
? Deliverables:
? Authenticate with UPS API using OAuth 2.0 (client_credentials or authorization_code flow as needed)
? Retrieve tracking data for a list of UPS tracking numbers (we can provide a CSV or query a range of shipment dates)
? Parse delivery dates vs. guaranteed delivery dates
? Identify and list packages that were delivered late
? Output a report (CSV or JSON) showing:
? Tracking number
? Ship date
? Scheduled delivery date
? Actual delivery date
? Delivery status (on time / late)
? (Optional but preferred): Integrate with UPS Refund Request API to submit claims automatically
? Error handling for invalid or failed API calls
? Script should be easy to run locally (Python 3.x, requests, etc.)
?
?? Ideal Skills:
? Python (required)
? Experience with UPS API or other carrier APIs (FedEx, USPS, etc.)
? Familiarity with OAuth 2.0 flows
? Working with JSON, CSV, and REST APIs
? Basic knowledge of shipping/delivery logistics is a plus
?
?? What We Provide:
? UPS Developer credentials (client ID / secret)
? Test tracking numbers
? UPS Developer documentation
? Access to a test or production UPS account
?
?? Timeline:
We?re hoping to get a working MVP within 1 week, with time after for refinement and optional automation.
