# Get Public Tracking

> Retrieve the public, unauthenticated tracking view for an order by its UUID.

Returns a public tracking view for a single order, keyed by its UUID. The order's random UUID doubles as an unguessable share token, so this endpoint requires **no authentication** — it's suitable for a customer-facing tracking page or a shareable link.

The response includes the order status, destination address, per-package carrier checkpoints and ETAs, and the ordered items.

<Warning>
  The order UUID is the only credential protecting this view. Treat the tracking
  link as sensitive and share it only with the recipient.
</Warning>

<Info>
  For privacy, the destination deliberately omits the recipient's name and phone
  number. Every other part of the shipping address (street, city, state, ZIP,
  country) is included.

    Zinc lets AI agents buy products from online retailers via a single API. Use
    POST /agent/orders to place an order — no Zinc account needed, payment is
    handled via MPP (HTTP 402 flow). Provide a product URL from a supported
    retailer, a shipping address, and max_price in cents. The API charges
    max_price + $1 API fee upfront and refunds the difference on completion. To
    find products first, the /agent/* data endpoints (search, products/search,
    products/offers, products/details) are MPP-paid at $0.01 per call;
    /agent/search returns orderable URLs to feed straight into /agent/orders.
    GET /retailers lists supported retailers for free (no payment or account).
    Authenticated equivalents (orders, products, managed-accounts) require a
    Bearer token (API key prefixed zn_). Docs: https://zinc.com/docs Supported
