# LBC Express (Philippines) Tracking API & MCP

URL: https://docs.lastscanned.com/carriers/lbc

Query live **LBC Express** (`lbc`) package status and scan history in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. LBC numbers are not auto-detected, so pass `?carrier=lbc`. `lastscanned` returns a normalized `TrackingResult` JSON payload, with no LBC account or API key.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `lbc` |
| **Brand & service aliases** | LBC Express, LBC, `lbcexpress.com` |
| **Category** | Philippine courier and cargo, domestic and international |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}?carrier=lbc` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=1234567890123,...&carrier=lbc` |
| **MCP server (`https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)** | `track_package`, `track_packages`, `list_carriers` (`claude mcp add --transport http lastscanned https://mcp.lastscanned.com`) |
| **Authentication & pricing** | `Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_...` · **1 free keyless lookup/day per IP** · **Free tier** (5 unique numbers/day, $0) · **Pro** ($4.99/mo for 1,000 unique numbers, unlimited re-polls, $0.015/extra) · **HTTP 402 Stripe MPP** ($0.50 for 25-number `lsk_pack_` key or $0.02/number in USDC on Tempo) |

## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

| Pass | Rule | Check digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | *None* | n/a | n/a |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | *None* | n/a | n/a |
| **Explicit (`?carrier=lbc`)** | 12 to 16 digits | n/a | `1234567890123` |

LBC numbers are plain digits, a shape other carriers share, so `?carrier=lbc` is required.

## Synchronous `GET` Request & Normalized JSON Response

### `curl`

```bash
curl -s "https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/1234567890123?carrier=lbc" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LASTSCANNED_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript / TypeScript (`fetch`)

```ts
const res = await fetch("https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/1234567890123?carrier=lbc", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LASTSCANNED_API_KEY}` },
});
const pkg = await res.json();
console.log(pkg.status, pkg.events[0]);
```

### MCP `track_package` tool call

```json
{
  "tool": "track_package",
  "arguments": {
    "tracking_number": "1234567890123",
    "carrier": "lbc"
  }
}
```

### Normalized `TrackingResult` JSON response

```json
{
  "carrier": "lbc",
  "trackingNumber": "1234567890123",
  "status": "out_for_delivery",
  "statusDescription": "Out for delivery - Cebu",
  "service": null,
  "deliveredAt": null,
  "deliveredAtLocal": null,
  "signedBy": null,
  "destination": null,
  "events": [
    {
      "timestamp": null,
      "localTime": "2026-10-22",
      "status": "out_for_delivery",
      "description": "Out for delivery - Cebu",
      "location": null,
      "code": null
    },
    {
      "timestamp": null,
      "localTime": "2026-10-20",
      "status": "in_transit",
      "description": "Booked at LBC Makati",
      "location": null,
      "code": null
    }
  ]
}
```

## Notes

- LBC reports a date for each scan but no time of day, so `localTime` is a date and `timestamp` is `null`.
- The scan description carries LBC's own `status and location` wording, so `location` is `null`.
