UPS
by United Parcel Service
UPS developer APIs return tracking activity, rate quotes, shipment details and invoice data for a shipper account. Keeping that history in your Lake, joined to orders and the general ledger, lets finance and logistics see the full price of each package after surcharges and adjustments, and whether the service level bought was the one the customer needed.

Need more? Name any other UPS data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
UPS uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in United Parcel Service if you need help.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once UPS data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- How much do surcharges and adjustments on UPS invoices add to the quoted rate, by service and month?
- On which lanes does UPS Ground arrive as fast as 2nd Day Air?
- Which customer addresses triggered address correction charges more than once?
- How many packages per week ended with a delivery exception, by origin facility?
05How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick UPS.
Open Lake, pick UPS in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the UPS API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the UPS documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example shipments and tracking events), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then UPS data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
