Access licence number for UPS

Question

I am using Mark Sanborn UPS Function to calculate UPS shipping rates with php

In this function you have to change some values of variables already defined

 // ========== CHANGE THESE VALUES TO MATCH YOUR OWN ===========  

 $AccessLicenseNumber = '12345678910'; // Your license number  
 $UserId = 'username'; // Username  
 $Password = 'password'; // Password  
 $PostalCode = '12345'; // Zipcode you are shipping FROM  
 $ShipperNumber = '98765'; // Your UPS shipper number 

but I could not figure out my $AccessLicenseNumber for UPS account also my $ShipperNumber.

Please any one used this API give me a start.

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Both of those values are issued by UPS when you request API credentials.

UPS credentials are made up of 4 distinct values- user id, password, access key (license number) and shipper number. Shipper number is optional, but including can affect which rates are returned.

UPS API credentials can be requested here: https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit?loc=en_US

Answer 2

UserID and Password are the credentials you use for UPS.com and the shipper number is your UPS account number. The access license number is provided by UPS when you signup for the OnLine tools.
