Asendia USA (Pirate Ship Simple Export Rate) Tracking API & MCP

Query live Asendia USA (asendia, including Pirate Ship Simple Export Rate AHOY… labels and e-PAQ international parcels) package status, scan history, and destination postal carrier handoff numbers in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned auto-detects 12-character AHOY… tracking numbers in Pass 1 and tracks USPS outbound consolidation labels, AS…US numbers, and destination carrier numbers when you pass ?carrier=asendia.

Overview & Quick FactsCopy Anchor Link

Why developers use lastscanned for Asendia USA & Pirate Ship ExportCopy Anchor Link

• Automatic destination postal carrier & secondary tracking number extraction: When US merchants ship internationally using Pirate Ship Simple Export Rate (AHOY…) or Asendia e-PAQ, the parcel moves through an Asendia USA consolidation hub (Folcroft, PA, Elk Grove Village, IL, Bell, CA) and is handed over to a foreign postal operator or courier (Canada Post, Royal Mail, Australia Post, La Poste / Colissimo, DHL / Deutsche Post, PostNord, Swiss Post, Correos, Evri, An Post, Poste Italiane). lastscanned extracts both the destination carrier name and the final-mile barcode (trackingNumberVendor) into top-level message (for example, "Handed to Canada Post as 7012345678901230" or "Handed to Royal Mail as LE123456785GB").
• No Asendia A1 API keys required: Query AHOY… labels or Asendia AS…US numbers with a single GET call instead of configuring Asendia One (A1) Basic Auth and API keys.

Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection (matches vs ?carrier=asendia)Copy Anchor Link

Asendia is evaluated thirty-first (#31) in lastscanned's two-pass detector:

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

• Optional (auto-detected): All 12-character AHOY + 8 alphanumeric Pirate Ship Simple Export Rate tracking numbers auto-detect in Pass 1.
• Required (?carrier=asendia): Asendia's AS…US numbers, the domestic 92…/94… USPS label used for the US-to-Asendia-hub leg (which otherwise routes to USPS in Pass 1), or the destination postal number when you want Asendia's consolidated view.

Chaining Last-Mile Handoffs (message) & Status NotesCopy Anchor Link

• Chaining into Canada Post, DHL, or USPS: When message reports "Handed to Canada Post as 7012345678901230" or "Handed to DHL as ...", you can pass that secondary tracking number directly to GET /v1/track/7012345678901230 to retrieve the destination carrier's native local delivery scans and UTC timestamps.
• Smart "Delivered to partner" guard: Asendia logs intermediate scans containing the word "Delivered" when handing a bag over to an airline or final-mile postal partner (e.g. "Delivered to destination carrier"). lastscanned excludes carrier/partner/agent handoff wording from triggering delivered so the parcel remains in_transit until actual recipient delivery.
