OAuth Credentials From UPS vs. Others

This article explains the OAuth-based Client ID and Client Secret credentials required to connect Eniture Technology products to the UPS, Unishippers, and Worldwide Express shipping APIs, and describes how to obtain them.

On June 5, 2023, UPS updated how it authorizes connections to its APIs to use a new OAuth standard that issues API users a Client ID and Client Secret. Those who had access to the UPS APIs before June 5, 2023, were able to continue using their existing API Access Key until it was deprecated on June 4, 2024. If you are still using an API Access Key, you must migrate to OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) to maintain access.

In the fall of 2023, Unishippers and Worldwide Express released their new API, which uses the same OAuth standard.  The new API also requires users to have a Client ID and Client Secret. However, the Client ID and Client Secret from Unishippers or Worldwide Express should not be confused with those from UPS.

How Do I Get My Client ID and Client Secret from UPS?

Instructions on obtaining your Client ID and Client Secret are included in the User Guide for every product from Eniture Technology that supports an integration for UPS. Refer to the User Guide for your product for step-by-step instructions.

How Do I Get My Client ID and Client Secret from Unishippers or Worldwide Express?

To connect an Eniture Technology product to the Unishippers or Worldwide Express API, contact your Unishippers or Worldwide Express sales representative to request your Client ID and Client Secret. If you do not have an assigned sales representative, contact Unishippers or Worldwide Express customer support directly for assistance.
