      "userID": "USERID"
    }
  }

USERID being the username you received via email.

Then run in the command line trackjs usps ShippingNumber, being ShippingNumber your package's tracking number e.g. EJ958083578US, and you should receive your shipment's feedback: e.g. There is no record of that mail item. If it was mailed recently, it may not yet be tracked. Please try again later. or Your shipment was accepted/picked up at 5:48 am on January 23, 2014 in AUSTIN, TX 12345.
