UPS REST API Issue

Report · May 20, 2024

Hello,

I am working on integrating UPS REST API and getting error message:

{"response":{"errors":[{"code":"110609","message":"All package dimensions are required and each must be greater than 0 for package 1."}]}}

This is my code:

            "Weight": "1.5"

            "Weight": "1.5"
          }	   
        }
      }
    }
  }>

As you can see I am sending the weight to UPS but for some reason it is not reading it, any suggestions as to why not?

This is UPS API documentation: https://developer.ups.com/api/reference?loc=en_US#operation/Rate

Sorry, this is the error message:

{"response":{"errors":[{"code":"110601","message":"Missing or invalid package weight for package 1."}]}}

Did you find a solution? If you look at the UPS docs, I believe the package should be an array:

https://developer.ups.com/api/reference?loc=en_US#operation/Rate!path=RateRequest/Shipment/Package&t...

I don't think you need anyone's help. This is a problem you can solve yourself, as the API has returned a clear error message, namely:

"All package dimensions are required and each must be greater than 0 for package 1."

Check the documentation, and make sure your JSON contains all the required attributes for package.

I also noticed that you use

PackageWeight2

for the attribute instead of

PackageWeight
