fix(scraper): follow UPS's Angular redesign via its JSON API#37
Merged
Conversation
… Akamai detection UPS rebuilt tracking.ups.com as an Angular app; the old #stApp DOM the scraper waited on no longer exists, so every UPS poll hung for 45s and timed out. The error log misattributed this to Akamai Bot Manager, but that was a false positive from a too-broad heuristic — Akamai is just UPS's CDN and its headers/domains appear on every request regardless of whether Bot Manager actually intervened. UPS's own app fetches tracking data from webapis.ups.com/track/api/Track/GetStatus, which returns full shipment history (shipmentProgressActivities) richer than anything in the rendered DOM. async_track now intercepts that response the same way fedex.py already does for FedEx, falling back to updated DOM selectors only if the API call is missed. Also tightened _identify_bot_service's Akamai branch to require actual challenge markers (_abck/ak_bmsc cookies, bm-verify, /_sec/verify, AkamaiGHost edge responses) instead of flagging any Akamai CDN header or mention, and fixed a dead case-sensitivity check in the Incapsula branch.

Summary
#stAppcontainer the scraper waited on no longer exists at all, so every UPS poll hung for the full 45s timeout and failed.x-akamai-*,go-mpulse.netRUM, etc.) appear on every request whether or not Bot Manager actually intervened.async_tracknow intercepts UPS's own internal JSON API (webapis.ups.com/track/api/Track/GetStatus), the same pattern already used for FedEx infedex.py. That endpoint returns full shipment history (shipmentProgressActivities) — richer than anything ever available in the rendered DOM, which only shows current status now. DOM parsing (updated to the new selectors) is kept only as a fallback if the API call is somehow missed._identify_bot_service's Akamai branch to require actual challenge markers (_abck/ak_bmsccookies,bm-verify,/_sec/verify, anAkamaiGHostedge response) instead of flagging on any Akamai CDN header or domain mention. Also fixed a dead case-sensitivity check in the Incapsula branch found while in there.Test plan
