Get shipping rates
Creates a shipment from a sender and recipient address and one parcel (inches and ounces, or a carrier's predefined package) and returns the rates of every connected carrier account.
Get a shipment
Reads a shipment by ID (shp_…): addresses, parcel, rates, selected_rate (once bought), tracking_code, postage_label (label_url, label_pdf_url, label_zpl_url), tracker.
Get a label in another format
Makes a bought label available as PDF, ZPL or EPL2 (labels are PNG at first).
List shipments
Lists shipments, newest first: bought ones by default, or quotes too, by creation time.
Get a tracker
Reads a tracker by ID (trk_…) for the latest status, status_detail, est_delivery_date, public_url and tracking_details.

Create, change or send.
Buy a label
Buys the label for one of a shipment's rates, charging the postage to the account (free with a test key), with optional insurance in US dollars.
Refund a labelDeletes data
Asks the carrier for the postage of an unused label back (the label stops working).
Track a parcel
Starts tracking a parcel by tracking number (and carrier, like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHLExpress, or left out to guess), and returns its status now.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.
