Thanks for the help. It seems like I did get a response, but it is all text (possibly raw HTML?). Any way to get the is converted back to graphical?
That is the intended behavior. You're hitting the API directly which bypasses the GUI. The response is raw JSON so you can copy/paste it all into a formatter like this (https://jsonformatter.org/json-parser) if you want something that's easier on the eyes (really only the first few lines are useful). I find that the API almost always responds even if the GUI doesn't.
The URL you posted later with the ".html" should work, but I don't know if it has the same failure rate as the regular GUI we use.

Thanks, that makes sense. So far, the alternate method I posted has worked every time (probably until it doesn't), which is more useful for me. Unless.... is there some nugget of info that is imbedded in the text that your method returns? Let me know if that is the case! (like "being held for fender lights" or "chip hold", etc)

Anyone having troubles with the tracking site? I enter in my VIN and order number and it just regenerates the web page.
I was able to get it to work by using the format of: https://shop.ford.com/vehicleordertracking/status.html?ordernumber=1234&vin=1234567890 but I am not sure if it will continue to work (where 1234 is order number, and 1234567890 is your VIN). This gave me active links to window sticker and resolved the HTML to a webpage. Hope this helps, I was frustrated by it also.

thanks to @Yost for providing some hints....

Yea it's quite annoying. What's even more annoying is having to try and explain to everyone why my truck still hasn't arrived after delay after delay and now this last minute chip nonsense. I am starting to think people don't believe I'm getting a Raptor anymore lol
You and me both! It's the worst question to have to answer...ever!
