Spee-Dee Delivery Tracking API & MCP

Query live Spee-Dee Delivery Service (speedee) package status and scan history across the Upper Midwest in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned auto-detects 18- and 20-character SP… barcodes, filters out recycled barcode history from older shipments, and returns a normalized TrackingResult JSON payload.

Overview & Quick FactsCopy Anchor Link

Why developers use lastscanned for Spee-Dee DeliveryCopy Anchor Link

• Clean JSON from a legacy HTML-only carrier: Spee-Dee's public package progress system returns legacy HTML tables with embedded debug comments and no JSON API. lastscanned parses the summary and scan rows into the standard TrackingResult JSON schema.
• Automatic recycled-barcode deduplication: Spee-Dee shippers sometimes reuse barcode ranges across separate shipments months apart, causing a single tracking page to list scans from multiple historical deliveries. lastscanned detects when an older delivered event sits a day or more below a newer shipment's scans and automatically trims the stale shipment history.

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

Spee-Dee is evaluated tenth (#10) in lastscanned's two-pass detector:

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

• Optional (auto-detected): All SP + 16-digit and SP + 18-digit Spee-Dee tracking numbers auto-detect in Pass 1 (no collision with USPS S10 numbers, which are 2 letters + 9 digits + US).
• Required (?carrier=speedee): Custom shipper barcodes or non-SP reference numbers inducted into Spee-Dee.

Raw status & scan fields: Spee-Dee scans do not carry separate status codes (events[].code is null); events[].description preserves the exact scan text (including route numbers like "OUT FOR DELIVERY (31092)").

Carrier-Specific Status & Integration NotesCopy Anchor Link

• Upstream rate limit (10 lookups / minute): Spee-Dee enforces a strict limit of 10 tracking searches per minute. If you send a large batch of Spee-Dee numbers at once, excess numbers return HTTP 429 with code: "rate_limited" ("Spee-Dee allows 10 searches a minute; try again in a minute"). Space Spee-Dee batch lookups to ≤10 numbers per minute.
• No estimatedDelivery field: Spee-Dee does not publish estimated delivery dates prior to delivery, so estimatedDelivery is always null.
• Central Time UTC conversion: For scans located in states wholly within the Central timezone (AL, AR, IA, IL, LA, MN, MO, MS, OK, WI), timestamp is converted to UTC using America/Chicago. Scans in split-timezone states populate localTime with timestamp: null.
