Carrier tracking

Purolator tracking API

Purolator is a premium carrier serving CA routes. Trace accepts the Purolator carrier code (purolator) and returns a normalized tracking timeline when a source provides usable data.

Use the Trace package tracking API to track Purolator shipments without integrating directly with Purolator's own systems. Send a tracking number, and Trace detects the carrier automatically where possible or accepts the code explicitly.
