How to fetch UPS Delivery Progress through their APIs? – Ebay API

I found a couple of PHP Classes online that utilizes the UPS Tracking API, but the problem is that I don’t get the whole route… I only get the status (saying if it was already delivered or not — along with a lot more info that I don’t need for what I’m doing).

I know it’s possible because I see a lot of sites doing it all the time such as this one:

http://www.packagetrackr.com/track/1Z0766Y54242241130

(Not to mention eBay, Amazon, etc).

Again I am using the UPS Tracking API with the following URL:
https://www.ups.com/ups.app/xml/Track (along with the XML payloads, etc)

Thank you.

    I wrote the following to display line by line UPS status for my customers on our site.

     $tracking_url = 'http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/track?track=yes&trackNums='.$insert_tracking_number_here;
 include('simple_html_dom.php');
 $html = file_get_html($tracking_url);
 foreach($html->find('th') as $e)
        $e->outertext = '';
        $html->save();
        $method = $html->find('a.service', 0)->innertext;
        echo 'Your Order #: '.$ordernumber.' was shipped on '.$shipdate.' via '.$method.'.<P></P>';
        $delivery_check = $html->find('dt', 0)->innertext;
        $is_delivered = strpos($delivery_check, 'Delivered On');
        $delivery = $html->find('dd', 8)->innertext;
        if ($is_delivered===false) {
            echo '<b>Scheduled delivery: '.$delivery.'.</b><P></P>';
        } else {
            echo '<b>Delivered on: '.$delivery.'</b><P></P>';
        }
        echo 'Below is the current information for tracking number '.$tracking.'.<P></P><br>'; ?>
        <table border="0"><tr><td colspan="6"><hr></td></tr>
        <tr>
        <td class="text10b" width="230">LOCATION</td>
        <td class="text10b" width="80">DATE</td>
        <td class="text10b" width="100">LOCAL TIME</td>
        <td class="text10b" width="230">ACTIVITY</td>
        </tr>
        <tr><td colspan="6"><hr></td></tr>
        <?php foreach($html->find('table.dataTable') as $service) echo $service->innertext;?>
        <tr><td colspan="6"><hr></td></tr></table>

    there’s no standard way of getting statues, you’ll have to parse the UPS website
