Has anyone been able to get a UPS shipping calculator implemented into  
their site with Rails? It seems the only options they show on their site  
both use UPS’s own page displayed either standalone or within your own  
header and footer, but no straight API with a callback or anything. Can  
anyone point me in the right direction?

The developer whom I work with has gotten it working on our site. He’s  
using  
the API. I’m not sure where it is on their site, but one exists. I’ll  
take a  
look around our files and see if I can find a link for you. The  
developer is  
out for the rest of the week, but I’ll also shoot him an email to see if  
he  
knows the url off hand.

Good luck 🙂

Matt,

I have done that, but their method uses a UPS formatted page, not just a  
CGI response that can be used within your applicaion. We don’t want the  
user to see anything UPS related other than the shipping price.

You need to register and open a UPS account. They have useful tools in  
the  
Online Tools section.

## I believe UPS has web services to access shipping price. Anyway, the gem I referred you to in an earlier email (gem install shipping) interfaces with the UPS APIs to get, among other things, just a shipping price.
