Re: RE: [EXTERNAL] UPS JSON API Response

Fun story.. many moons ago when I was writing GETURI I tested it on UPS'
website (before web services) to scrape their content for late shipments
for a very large company.

After a couple weeks they figured out what we were doing because we were
saving many many thousands a week and they changed their TOS to not allow
that for refunds for late shipments.

Ahh... the golden days... haha.

UPS is, let's say, challenging.
They have arbitrary throttle limits and max requests that hit at various
times.

Depending on the time of day, shipping MAY try again a little later.

I have it where I rate shop between 3 parcel carriers.
With hitting tiers and rates, if someone doesn't like to play nice the
package goes to the next carrier.
The carrier sales rep doesn't like it so they push the issue to get
service working better. MINOR success.

I've worked with a LOT of APIs from all the players big and small... "try
again" is a common answer. :)

What an answer!

I put code in to trap the debug - the error didn't occur at all
yesterday (or thus far today).

I would not be happy "trying again" if I were generating shipping labels.
Let's just have someone stand there waiting until the UPS API decides
to answer (SMH).

Googled the error... this appears to be a common issue with the API.

Yes, I also get the "250002 Invalid Authentication Information" daily
while using the Address Validation API. I've supplied support with
all of
my logs / documentation from cURL and QSHONI. The response I
received from
support was, "just try again".
