Using API kit to check Street Level Address Validity - Commercial vs. Residential

[RobertH]

This thread contains the backstory to what I'm trying to accomplish: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?219741

I'm trying to use this API from UPS' developer tools: https://www.ups.com/upsdeveloperkit/...urce?loc=en_US

I've read the documentation in the kit but I have really no knowledge of XML, JSON, or using API's in general. I have an account and an access key for the API but I don't know how to implement it with ZenCart.

I would like to run a request from this API during step 1 (shipping) of the Zen Cart checkout to see if the chosen shipping address of the customer is residential or commercial (really just residential, or not) and then do x thing depending on what the result of that check is.

------

As of right now I don't think I'm doing it right at all...

I looked for some API tutorials and one I read led me to try this in my tpl_checkout_chipping_default.php file:

<div id="dump"></div>
<input type="button" value="JSON" onclick="loadUPS()" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    function loadUPS() {
        $('#dump').html('Loading');
        $.ajax({
            type:'GET',
            url:"https://wwwcie.ups.com/json/XAV",
            username:"my_username",
            password:"my_pass",
            AccessLicenseNumber:"ACCESSKEY",
            success:function(dump) {
                $('#dump').append(dump);
            },
            dataType:'jsonp'
        });
    };
</script>

When I click the dummy button I'm just trying to get any kind of results to appear in the dummy div. Right now all that happens is an error in the console:

"Refused to execute script from … because its MIME type (‘application/json’) is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled"

------

Could really use some help, I'm not sure if I'm on the right track at all or completely doing it wrong.

Oh well the 'GET' is successful after I used dataType:'json', but I don't know how to request specific methods or tell the request that it should use the customer's address for the "Address Validation"
