Steps
Register a UPS developer account and create an app in the UPS Developer Portal to get OAuth credentials (Client ID/Client Secret) for API access.
Call the Locator API's search operation with an address or lat/long and a program-type filter to restrict results to UPS Access Point locations.
Read AccessPointInformation in the response, including AccessPointStatus.Code (01 Active-available, 06 Suspended, 07 Active-unavailable, 08 Terminated) to confirm the point can currently accept parcels.
Pull hours of operation, FacilitySLIC, and address details from the response to present to the end customer.
Cache/refresh results periodically — Access Point availability and status can change.
Known gotchas
Only status code 01 (Active-available) locations should be offered to customers; 07/08 are UPS-visible but not currently usable for drop-off/collection.
The Locator API returns many location types (drop-off, retail, Access Point); filter explicitly for Access Point rather than assuming all returned points support locker-style delivery.
UPS has overlapping documentation surfaces (developer portal reference, Postman collection, and an OpenAPI Locator.yaml on the UPS-API GitHub org) — cross-check field names across them since they can drift.
