+## 7. Check Pickup Schedule by Tracking ID (AWB) Specification
+
+### 7.1. REST Endpoints
+Clients can query the pickup schedule using either endpoint:
+
+- **Primary Route**:
+  `GET /api/v1/carrier/pickup-schedule/?tracking_id=<AWB>`
+- **Unified Alias**:
+  `GET /api/v1/carrier/schedule-pickup/?tracking_id=<AWB>`
+- **POST Route**:
+  `POST /api/v1/carrier/pickup-schedule/` with JSON `{"tracking_id": "<AWB>"}`
+
+#### Supported Query Parameters
+- `tracking_id` / `awb` / `tracking` / `waybill`: The carrier waybill or client order ID (e.g. `69873010000232`).
+
+### 7.2. Response Schema
+```json

+
+### 7.3. Resolution Hierarchy
+1. **`shipping_pickupschedule` Table**: Checks if a local record exists.
+2. **Live Carrier Tracking API**:
+   - For **Delhivery**, calls `/api/v1/packages/json/?waybill={trk}`, extracting origin warehouse, consignee address, and shipment status.
+   - Cross-checks with active warehouse pickup requests.
+3. **Cross-Database Order Lookup**:
+   - Queries `api_order` in `customerprofile_beta` to correlate `pickup_id` and ETA slot.
+4. **Auto-Caching**: Updates the `PickupSchedule` model so subsequent lookups are instant.
