Thinking of trying Yodel's Tracking API? There are a number of points to consider, many of which will affect cost, performance, and integration times.
First off, Yodel doesn't offer a public Tracking API so you'll need to write your own service to obtain tracking information.
Fortunately, there are alternatives to such a slow integration process. EasyPost is a multi-carrier API with quick technical support and client libraries for all major programming languages.
