UPS: Why TimeInTransit for UPS Freight API doesn't work?

Question

Does anyone knows how to get Time In Transit for UPS Freight Shipping. In developers guide I found instructions to specify TimeInTransitIndicator option:

Presence of the tag indicates Time in Transit information is requested and will be returned.

But there is no any /FreightRateResponse/TimeInTransit tag in UPS' response.

Also there is no such tag <xsd:element name="TimeInTransit" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0"/> in FreightRateWebServiceSchema.xsd file from the UPS' developer's kit in response tag <xsd:element name="FreightRateResponse">

Does anyone know how to get TimeInTransit for Freight API? Would be glad for any help.

Answer 1

I asked UPS support and got the answer:

The < freightRate:TimeInTransit > will only be returned when posting a request to the production URL.

Your key will need to be approved for production access for the Ground Freight Rating API before you will be able to post successfully to the production URL.

The .xsd files and WSDL in the developer tool kit are designed to deliver this element in production without editing, so what you have observed with the schema files is by design.

And this is example response with TimeInTransit tag from UPS support https://gist.github.com/antongorodezkiy/5973888
