Overview

Given a tracking number, the endpoint quickly identifies the most likely carrier based on tracking-number format. If multiple carriers match, the alternatives are returned in the alternatives field.

Usage notes

  • Fast: Pattern-matching only; no tracking is fetched. Typical response time is under 100 ms.
  • Accurate: Carrier rules are tuned to match each carrier’s number format with above-95% accuracy.
