UPS API Security Changes

Post by TomB01 »

Got this e-mail this morning:
Upgrades to the UPS API Security Model

Thank you for being a UPS API user! At UPS, we continue to improve our technology offerings and work to provide better security for our valued customers.

UPS has implemented an OAuth 2.0 security model for all APIs to enhance the overall security for our customers to reduce fraud and provide enhanced API capabilities. This change impacts your current API integration and requires you to make updates to your existing application interface.

How will this impact my API integration?

• Beginning June 5, 2023, UPS will no longer issue API access keys

• On June 3, 2024, access keys will no longer be supported for authentication to UPS APIs

• You will need to obtain OAuth API credentials from the new UPS Developer Portal and update your security protocols to OAuth 2.0 prior to June 3, 2024 to continue transacting with UPS APIs

• Any legacy UPS API integrations using XML, SOAP, or legacy JSON payloads will also be required to convert to the RESTful APIs

We have created an API access key migration guide to assist with your migration from access keys to OAuth 2.0. If you obtained an access key to provide to a 3rd party please notify them of these changes immediately.
