# SPL Saudi Post Tracking API & MCP

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

Query live **SPL Saudi Post** (`spl`, Saudi Post / سبل) parcel status and scan history in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. `lastscanned` auto-detects UPU S10 numbers ending in `SA` (valid check digit) in Pass 1; SPL's other number shapes need `?carrier=spl`.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `spl` |
| **Brand & service aliases** | SPL, Saudi Post, Saudi Post and Logistics, SaudiPost, سبل, البريد السعودي |
| **Category** | National post of Saudi Arabia |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}` (add `?carrier=spl` for numbers that are not S10 `…SA`) |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=RR...SA,RR...SA` |
| **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 (`matches` vs `?carrier=spl`)

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | UPU S10: `/^[A-Z]{2}\d{9}SA$/` | S10 mod 11 | `RR123456785SA`, `EE123456785SA` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | *None* | none | none |
| **Explicit (`?carrier=spl`)** | SPL's other shapes: letters, 4 to 25 digits, then a check character | none | `?carrier=spl` |

## Status Notes

- **Times**: scan times are printed without a zone, so events carry `localTime` only.
- **Customs bill**: status code `8` means a VAT bill has been issued and must be paid; it reports `exception`.
- **Naqel numbers**: SPL's tracking page also accepts Naqel waybills (8, 9, 13 or 14 digits). Those are Naqel shipments and are not tracked as `spl`.
