USPS
by United States Postal Service
USPS APIs return tracking events, published prices, label data, standardized addresses and the service standard expected between two ZIP Codes. For sellers who ship mostly domestic parcels, keeping that data in the Lake shows where Ground Advantage and Priority Mail meet their standards, what each package would cost on another service and which addresses keep causing returns.

02Data
What you can sync.
- Tracking events
- Prices
- Labels
- Addresses
Keep USPS tracking events in your Lake and let an AI Mind flag what is late, costly or off plan.
Need more? Name any other USPS 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)
USPS 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 States Postal Service if you need help.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once USPS data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- What share of Ground Advantage packages arrived later than the USPS service standard for their origin and destination ZIP Codes?
- How much would moving packages under one pound from Priority Mail to Ground Advantage save at published prices?
- What share of customer addresses needed correction during validation, and do corrected addresses have fewer returns?
- Which destination states have the most packages with no tracking scan for five days or more?
05How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick USPS.
Open Lake, pick USPS in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the USPS API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the USPS documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example tracking events and prices), 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 USPS data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
06Pairs
Works well with USPS.
Sources teams join with USPS in the Warehouse, each one connected the same way.
