UBI Smart Parcel Tracking API & MCP

Query live UBI Smart Parcel (ubi) cross-border package status, scan history, and destination carrier handoff numbers (Australia Post, Aramex, Team Global Express, Dragonfly, iMile) in a single synchronous GET request or MCP tool call. lastscanned auto-detects 15-character AU… UBI tracking numbers in Pass 1 and returns a normalized TrackingResult JSON payload—without requiring an eTower / UBI shipper account.

Overview & Quick FactsCopy Anchor Link

Why developers use lastscanned for UBI Smart ParcelCopy Anchor Link

• Deduplicates dual-number scans & filters future flight bookings: UBI's eTower portal mixes UBI's own origin scans in China with relayed partner scans filed under the destination carrier's barcode—often emitting duplicate events 1 second apart under both tracking numbers, pre-populating future flight departure timestamps before the flight has taken off, and stamping "Out for delivery" and "Delivered" at the exact same minute. lastscanned deduplicates dual-number scans, filters out future-dated flight projections, orders "Delivered" ahead of same-minute "Out for delivery" scans, and ensures a partner's mid-transit electronic manifest (INF) never resets an in_transit parcel back to label_created.
• Automatic last-mile carrier & exchange number extraction: UBI hands parcels over to Australia Post (auspost.com.au), Aramex (aramex.com.au), Team Global Express (teamglobalexp.com), Dragonfly (dragonflyshipping.com.au), iMile, or Canada Post. lastscanned extracts both the partner carrier name and secondary barcode into top-level message (e.g. "Handed to Australia Post as 33X9K012345601000930905").

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

UBI Smart Parcel is evaluated twenty-ninth (#29) in lastscanned's two-pass detector:

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

• Optional (auto-detected): All 15-character AU + 13-digit UBI Smart Parcel numbers auto-detect in Pass 1.
• Required (?carrier=ubi): When querying UBI by the destination partner's barcode (such as an Australia Post barcode, an Aramex MP… number, or a 16-digit Canada Post PIN that would otherwise route to canadapost in Pass 1).
