# Nationex Tracking API & MCP

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

Query live **Nationex** (`nationex`) parcel status, delivery contact and scan history in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. `lastscanned` reads the same service the tracker on nationex.com uses, so no account or API key is needed.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `nationex` |
| **Brand aliases** | Nationex, Nationex Courier |
| **Category** | Canadian domestic courier (Quebec, Ontario, Atlantic and Western Canada) |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}?carrier=nationex` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=...&carrier=nationex` |
| **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 / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | *None* | none | none |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | *None* | none | none |
| **Explicit (`?carrier=nationex`)** | Nationex numbers and shipper references | none | `1234567890` |

Nationex numbers are plain digits or shipper references, so a number is never auto-detected as Nationex. Always pass `?carrier=nationex`.

## Synchronous `GET` Request & Normalized JSON Response

### `curl`

```bash
curl -s "https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/1234567890?carrier=nationex" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LASTSCANNED_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript / TypeScript (`fetch`)

```ts
const res = await fetch("https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/1234567890?carrier=nationex", {
  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

{
  "tool": "track_package",
  "arguments": {
    "tracking_number": "1234567890",

## Notes

- **Lookup keys**: the number can be a Nationex shipment or parcel number or the shipper's own reference. For a multi-parcel shipment, the parcel matching the number is shown, else the first.
- **Times**: scans name a depot but no province, so only `localTime` is set and `timestamp` is `null`.
- **Unknown numbers**: Nationex answers "Sorry, no results.", which comes back as `404 not_found`.
