RE: UPS JSON API Response -- MIDRANGE-L

Jon,

The accessToken field is retrieved from a CHAR(2048) field in a database file.
I guess I could change the field to varchar(2048) in the file.

So I think the %trim is necessary, otherwise it's padded with blanks.

Glad you found it.

You might want to think about changing your token variables (and possibly others) to varchar and avoid the %Trims. And unless your return value is defined as varchar - the %Trim is doing nothing anyway.

Well... thanks to the logging, I found my BONEHEAD mistake.

My code was actually trying to use the expired token for 5 minutes AFTER it expired instead of getting a new token 5 minutes BEFORE it expired.

Code was:
// Check Access Token Expiration - refresh if it expires in next 5 minutes
if tokenExpire > %timestamp - %seconds(300);
return %trim(accessToken);
endif;

Code now:
if tokenExpire > %timestamp + %seconds(300);
return %trim(accessToken);
endif;

UPS is, let's say, challenging.
They have arbitrary throttle limits and max requests that hit at various times.

Depending on the time of day, shipping MAY try again a little later.

I have it where I rate shop between 3 parcel carriers.
With hitting tiers and rates, if someone doesn't like to play nice the package goes to the next carrier.
The carrier sales rep doesn't like it so they push the issue to get service working better. MINOR success.
