Amazon Logistics Tracking API & MCP

Query live Amazon Logistics (amazon) package status and scan history for Amazon Shipping and Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) parcels (TBA…, TBC…, TBM…) in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned returns a normalized TrackingResult JSON payload—without requiring an Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) developer role, AWS IAM signing, or Login with Amazon (LWA) OAuth tokens.

Overview & Quick FactsCopy Anchor Link

Why developers use lastscanned for Amazon Shipping & MCFCopy Anchor Link

• Skip Amazon SP-API & Amazon Shipping API onboarding: Integrating directly with Amazon's Shipping v2 API requires an approved Amazon Developer profile, LWA OAuth 2.0 client credentials, and merchant-specific authorization grants. With lastscanned, any developer or AI agent can track public TBA/TBC/TBM shipments immediately via GET /v1/track/:number.
• Unpack double-encoded JSON & event codes: Amazon's public tracker returns nested stringified JSON (progressTracker and eventHistory) with raw camelCase event codes (CreationConfirmed, PickupDone, OutForDelivery). lastscanned parses, deduplicates, and normalizes them into standard statuses and human-readable descriptions.

Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection (matches vs mayMatch)Copy Anchor Link

Amazon is evaluated fifth (#5) in lastscanned's two-pass detector:

When is ?carrier=amazon optional vs required?Copy Anchor Link

• Optional (auto-detected): All 15-character TBA, TBC, and TBM tracking numbers auto-detect in Pass 1. No other carrier uses a TB prefix.
• Important scope note — Amazon Shipping & MCF vs retail amazon.com orders: Only parcels shipped via Amazon Shipping (Ship With Amazon) or Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF)—i.e., orders fulfilled for third-party merchants—have public tracking records. Ordinary retail amazon.com marketplace orders are private to the buyer's Amazon account and return 404 not_found ("Amazon has no public record of that number (amazon.com orders are tracked only in the buyer's account)"). Shipments older than 45 days also return 404 not_found.

Raw status & scan codes: Each event in events[] preserves Amazon's raw eventCode in code ("CreationConfirmed", "PickupDone", "Received", "Departed", "InTransit", "OutForDelivery", "Delivered", "DeliveryAttempted", "Returned") and translates it into a clean human-readable description (appending any subReasonCode details).

Carrier-Specific Status & Integration NotesCopy Anchor Link

• UTC-only timestamps (localTime: null): Amazon reports scan timestamps strictly in UTC (which track.amazon.com converts to the viewer's browser timezone client-side). Therefore, timestamp and deliveredAt are always exact UTC ISO 8601 strings ("2026-10-24T18:06:14Z"), while localTime and deliveredAtLocal are null.
• Service differentiation (Amazon Shipping vs Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment): service automatically distinguishes between "Amazon Shipping" and "Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment" based on the shipment's trackerSource.
