# UBI Smart Parcel Tracking API & MCP

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

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 Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `ubi` |
| **Brand & service aliases** | UBI Smart Parcel, UBI Logistics, Gotoubi (`ubismartparcel.com`, `shipper.ubismartparcel.com`) |
| **Category** | Cross-border e-commerce logistics carrier — China to Australia, Canada & global (Detection precedence **#29 of 31**) |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=AU000...,AU000...` (up to 30 UBI numbers per batch; up to 100 total numbers) |
| **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) |

## Why developers use `lastscanned` for UBI Smart Parcel

- **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](/carriers/canadapost)**. `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`)

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

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | `/^AU\d{13}$/i` (`AU` + 13 digits = 15 chars) | — | `AU0000001234567`, `AU0000006050000` |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | *None* | — | — |

### When is `?carrier=ubi` optional vs required?

- **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](/carriers/canadapost) PIN that would otherwise route to `canadapost` in Pass 1).

## Synchronous `GET` Request & Normalized JSON Response

### `curl`

```bash
curl -s "https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/AU0000001234567" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LASTSCANNED_API_KEY"
```

### JavaScript / TypeScript (`fetch`)

```ts
const res = await fetch("https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/AU0000001234567", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LASTSCANNED_API_KEY}` },
});
const pkg = await res.json();
console.log(pkg.status, pkg.message, pkg.events[0]);
```

### MCP `track_package` tool call

```json
{
  "tool": "track_package",
  "arguments": {
    "tracking_number": "AU0000001234567"
  }
