Authentication

Authentication and identification to the EasyPost API is done by providing an API Key on every request as your Basic Auth username (no password is required). EasyPost requires that all communication with the API is secured using TLS v1.2. Requests made over HTTP or without a proper API Key will fail.

EasyPost provides two types of API Key: Test and Production. You can test all EasyPost functionality using your Test key, for free, immediately after signing up.

You can manage your API Keys from your account.

Treat your API Keys as passwords—keep them secret. API Keys give full read/write access to your account, so they should not be included in public repositories, emails, client side code, etc. If yours gets leaked, you can disable it on the dashboard's API Keys Page.

EasyPost Objects

The EasyPost API consists of many object types. There are several attributes that are consistent across all objects:

  • id: Every EasyPost Object that can be created through the API has an id field that is used to refer to the object in other API calls. An id consists of a prefix based on the object type (e.g. Shipments have the prefix "shp_") followed by 32 hex characters. These id values may be used in many API endpoints to refer to an existing object rather than specifying the full object definition; for instance in Shipment creation, you may specify the to_address either with all fields (street1, city, zip, etc.) filled, or you may reuse an existing Address by specifying only the id field value as the matching Address's id, omitting all other fields.
  • object: Every first-class EasyPost object includes an object value. This can be useful for identifying the types of nested objects, or for cases like webhook Events which can contain many different types of result. For objects where there are many variant types, such as Fees, the object value represents the supertype, and the type represents the subtype for that object.
  • reference: Many API objects also have an optional reference field that may be assigned during creation. The reference values you assign may be used in place of id values in many API endpoints, but we recommend using the EasyPost-assigned id instead because ids are guaranteed to be unique within the system, while reference uniqueness is not enforced. If your system does not enforce uniqueness on the references you submit, this may result in the wrong one of many objects with the same reference being picked in EasyPost's handling of your API request.
  • created_at/updated_at: Most API objects also include values for created_at and updated_at. These two fields respectively specify the time the object in question was created and most recently updated. These datetime fields are formatted according to ISO 8601.

Errors

In the event of a client or server error, the response will contain the standard 4xx or 5xx respectively, accompanied by a well-formed JSON body describing the issue, e.g., a required field was omitted, a purchase failed, etc.

Each client library will encapsulate these errors and raise an exception, in addition to other exceptional cases, such as network failures. It is recommended to handle exceptions gracefully and to report any issues to [email protected].

Addresses

Address objects are used to represent people, places, and organizations in a number of contexts. For example, a Shipment requires a to_address and from_address to accurately calculate rates and generate postage.

Additionally, EasyPost offers several verification tools that can be used to detect deliverability issues, correct minor errors in spelling/formatting, and determine if an Address is residential or not (which has a significant effect on Shipment rating for many carriers).

POST /addresses

Create and Verify Addresses

Depending on your use case an Address can be used in many different ways. Certain carriers allow rating between two zip codes, but full addresses are required to purchase postage. It is recommended to provide as much information as possible during creation and to reuse these objects whenever possible.

Address objects can also be created inline while creating another object, for example during Shipment Creation.

Verify an Address

Verifying an Address before you ship is a great way to reduce issues with delivery.

Creating a verified Address is as simple as including an enumerated list of the verifications you'd like EasyPost to perform in the verify or verify_strict url parameters. If any of the verification checks included in the verify_strict list fail an error will be returned from the API. The example below demonstrates the most common verification: "delivery", which checks that the address is deliverable and sets its residential delivery indicator.

The most effective time to perform address verification is when your customer, or the person entering the delivery address, is present. When designing a shopping cart it is recommended to ask the shopper for their address and verify it on the spot. If verification fails, ask them to double check their input; if they confirm that their data is correct, assume they know their address more correctly than the verification process.

Parcels

Parcel objects represent the physical container being shipped. Dimensions can be supplied either as length, width, and height dimensions, or a predefined_package string. Only weight is required, but since many carriers charge different rates for packages with large dimensions, we strongly recommend including all dimensions if available.

Weights are in OUNCES (OZ) and go to one decimal point.

Dimensions are in INCHES (IN) and go to one decimal point.

Predefined Packages

If you provide a predefined_package the associated Shipment will fetch rates from carriers for which that is a valid predefined_package. Some carriers share predefined_package names. If you wish to restrict your rating to a specific carrier, we recommend passing the carrier_accounts field when creating a Shipment.

For most predefined_packages it is not necessary to specify parcel dimensions, only weight.

A Parcel's id can be inlined into the creation call to other objects. This allows you to only create one Parcel for each package you will be using.

An Insurance is created automatically whenever you buy a Shipment through EasyPost and pass insurance options during the Buy call or in a later call to Insure a Shipment.

                                                                                                    Insurance purchased through the Shipment Buy or Insure endpoints is immediately insured - there is no possibility of rejection based on tracking information, as the package was just created. On the other hand, Insurance purchased on shipments purchased outside of EasyPost requires creation with a tracking code so that EasyPost may confirm the package existence and current shipping status at the time of purchase.

                                                                                                    Standalone insurance is created in a pending state to help distinguish it from insurance purchased for an EasyPost Shipment. Both kinds of Insurance use the Tracking system to receive periodic updates, and will report those updates to any appropriate Webhooks on file. Standalone insurance will cancel itself if the tracking information for the given tracking code shows evidence of having been shipped anytime before the insurance was purchased.

                                                                                                    Unlike Shipments within EasyPost, Insurance objects register To and From Address objects according to the destination and ship-from locations of the package. This means that a Shipment with "is_return: true" actually ships to the listed From Address. Insurance does not have a concept of "is_return", so all insurance records refer to their true package destination as "to_address", regardless of whether or not the shipment is a return.

Insurance for Shipments created within EasyPost must be created via the Shipment Buy or Insure endpoints. When creating Insurance for a non-EasyPost shipment, you must provide to_address, from_address, tracking_code, and amount information. Optionally, you can provide the carrier parameter, which will help EasyPost identify the carrier the package was shipped with. If no carrier is provided, EasyPost will attempt to determine the carrier based on the tracking_code provided. Providing a carrier parameter is recommended, since some tracking_codes are ambiguous and may match with more than one carrier. In addition, not having to auto-match the carrier will significantly speed up the response time.

Once created a Shipment object is used to retrieve shipping Rates and purchase a label.

                                                                                                    A Shipment created with a valid to_address, from_address, and parcel will automatically populate its rates attribute.

                                                                                                    Note: USPS Commercial Plus Prices will show up in both the Production and Test API.

Additionally, all the objects contained within a Shipment may be created at the same time.

                                                                                                    The origin/destination Address and Parcel are required for rating. CustomsInfo is required to rate an international Shipment, this includes when the destination is a US Territory. The associated Tracker, Fees, and Rates are generated by EasyPost and cannot be modified by the user.

                                                                                                    You can limit the CarrierAccounts to use for rating by passing the carrier_accounts parameter.

                                                                                                    To purchase a Shipment you only need to specify the Rate to purchase. This operation populates the tracking_code and postage_label attributes. The default image format of the associated PostageLabel is PNG. To change this default see the label_format option.

                                                                                                    Additionally, insurance may be added during the purchase. To specify an amount to insure, pass the insurance attribute as a string. The currency of all insurance is USD.

                                                                                                    Note: USPS Commercial Plus Prices will show up in both the Production and Test API.

                                                                                                    There is an alternative way to purchase shipments that is known as the "one-call buy" method. This method is often used if you have a flat-rate set with a mail carrier for a given service level OR if you know your desired service level without needing to see the rate first.

                                                                                                    Utilizing the "one-call buy" method can improve the performance of your integration, because it cuts out an API call from our standard "create shipment" then "buy shipment" workflow. In order to achieve this behavior all you have to do is add a single carrier account and service level name to your "Create Shipment" call.

These failures are returned as part of the Shipment or Pickup as part of their messages attribute, and follow a common object structure.

                                                                                                                                  It is important to note that the message value for any member of this list comes directly from the carrier, not from EasyPost. This means that if you see an authentication or other non-shipping error here, it is not an issue between you and EasyPost, it is an issue between you and the carrier, or an issue with the given data.

                                                                                                                                  The SmartRate API accepts a Shipment ID and returns predicted transit days across a variety of percentiles for each carrier service being evaluated for the Shipment. The transit time predictions in the response are based off of a sophisticated model using actual historical data for the shipping lane in question.

                                                                                                                                  To make a request to the SmartRate API, first create a Shipment, then make the SmartRate call. Using the response, you can now make better data-driven decisions about which Rate to select when purchasing a label.

We charge 0.5% of the value, with a 50 cent minimum, and handle all the claims. All our claims are paid out within 10 days.

                                                                                                                                  To buy insurance, first purchase the Shipment, then make the insurance call before the package begins being handled by the carrier.

                                                                                                                                  Refunding a Shipment is available for many carriers supported by EasyPost. Once the refund has been submitted, refund_status attribute of the Shipment will be populated with one of the possible values: "submitted", "refunded", "rejected". The most common initial status is "submitted". Many carriers require that the refund be processed before the refund_status will move to "refunded". The length of this process depends on the carrier, but no greater than 30 days.

                                                                                                                                  Refunds created very shortly after a label is generated may be improperly flagged as invalid, but you may retry a refund with the "rejected" status by submitting the same request again. Carriers that are bill-on-scan tend to have refunds attempts return as "not_applicable", which will not change with multiple retries.

EasyPost offers a simple way to submit the same parameters as your initial shipment, but with an additional flag set, that will generate you a return label to receive any return shipments at your original from address.

                                                                                                                                  It's important for some carriers, with different return billing, to specify a return label even if it's not a return label for an earlier Shipment.

                                                                                                                                  If doing more than 10,000 USPS Returns in a year, please contact EasyPost for the USPS scan-based return program, which we also offer.

                                                                                                                                  You can easily create return labels. All you need to do is set the is_return parameter to "true", leave the addresses the same as the initial Shipment's creation request and we switch the To and From Addresses for the return Shipment.

                                                                                                                                  A Tracker object contains all of the tracking information for a package. A Tracker is created automatically whenever you buy a Shipment through EasyPost; if you don’t use EasyPost to purchase your shipping labels, you can still track packages through our API by creating a Tracker object directly. Each Tracker is continually updated in the background as the package moves through its life cycle, regardless of whether or not the label was purchased through EasyPost.

                                                                                                                                  After creation, a Tracker object will be updated periodically based on when the carrier provides EasyPost with new tracking information. This information can be consumed by using our webhooks infrastructure. Every time a Tracker is updated a webhook Event will be sent.

                                                                                                                                  The Tracker object contains both the current information about the package as well as previous updates. All of the previous updates are stored in the tracking_details array. Each TrackingDetail object contains the status, the message from the carrier, and a TrackingLocation.

                                                                                                                                  The TrackingLocation contains city, state, country, and zip information about the location where the package was scanned. The information each carrier provides is different, so some carriers may not make use of all of these fields.

                                                                                                                                  Some Tracker objects may also contain a CarrierDetail, which stores some additional information about the Tracker that the carrier has made available to EasyPost. The CarrierDetail object contains the service and container_type of the package. Additionally, it also stores the est_delivery_date_local and est_delivery_time_local, which provide information about the local delivery time.

                                                                                                                                  It's worth noting that tracking_codes are not globally unique. Each carrier promises uniqueness for a given tracking_code for a certain period of time, but the length of time varies greatly based on the specific carrier and service level. The carriers do eventually recycle tracking_codes, and for this reason enforcing uniqueness on the tracking_code field is not recommended. EasyPost does, however, prevent the creation of duplicate Trackers based on tracking_code and carrier; duplicate requests by the same User will simply return the original Tracker.

                                                                                                                                  Sometimes you may want to simulate specific tracking statuses (e.g. "out_for_delivery") within your application to test how your application responds. EasyPost has a set of test tracking_codes that, when sent to the API, respond with specific tracking statuses and send a webhook Event to your test mode URL. The tracking updates that are sent by these tracking_codes will contain canned information, but it will be similar in form to the information normally provided by the carrier you selected.

Optionally, you can provide the carrier parameter, which indicates the carrier the package was shipped with. If no carrier is provided, EasyPost will attempt to determine the carrier based on the tracking_code provided. Providing a carrier parameter is recommended, since some tracking_codes are ambiguous and may match with more than one carrier. In addition, not having to auto-match the carrier will significantly speed up the response time.

                                                                                                                                  In an effort to reduce wasted resources, EasyPost prevents the creation of duplicate Trackers. A Tracker is considered to be a duplicate if another Tracker with the same tracking_code and carrier was created by the same User in the last three months. In the case where a duplicate request is submitted, the original Tracker will be returned.

                                                                                                                                  Create Tracker Request Parameters

                                                                                                                                  The Tracker List is a paginated list of all Tracker objects associated with the given API Key. It accepts a variety of parameters which can be used to modify the scope. The has_more attribute indicates whether or not additional pages can be requested. The recommended way of paginating is to use either the before_id or after_id parameter to specify where the next page begins.

                                                                                                                                  Using the Tracker List endpoint is the recommended way of retrieving a Tracker by tracking_code or carrier. Unlike the retrieving a Tracker using the Retrieve endpoint, which accepts an id, the List endpoint accepts the tracking_code as the search parameter. Normally, you'll only have one Tracker with a given tracking_code, but it is also possible to further filter those results by including the carrier parameter in your request.

Just remember that the state change of a Batch is asynchronous and will fire a webhook Event when the state change is completed.

This can only be done once for each batch and all Shipments must have a status of postage_purchased.

                                                                                                                                  Available label formats are 'pdf', 'zpl' or 'epl2' format. Like converting a PostageLabel format, if this process will change the format of the labels they must have been created as PNGs.

Every time an Event related to one of your objects is created, EasyPost guarantees at least one POST request will be sent to each of the webhook URLs set up for your account. For this reason, we strongly encourage your webhook handler to be idempotent. See the webhooks guide for more information.

For credit card charges, this event indicates that the charge is complete and your account balance has already been updated. For bank account transfers (ACH) this indicates the beginning of the transfer process, which may still later fail.

This event indicates that the accounting for that transfer is now complete.
                                                                                                                                  • A "payment.failed" Event is created when a Bank Account transfer or Credit Card charge has an issue and cannot be completed. For bank account transfers that fail your account balance may see a failure deduction and an EasyPost could possibly need to get in contact with you about your account status.

USPS is the best example of this, as USPS postage takes 15+ days to be refunded after the initial refund creation.

Shipments with postage collected by EasyPost (as opposed to shipments with postage collected directly by the carrier) will have a "PostageFee" according to the postage amount. Insurance on a Shipment will add an "InsuranceFee" with the insurance premium (not the covered value) for the amount. Tracker objects will have a "TrackerFee" with the price, even when a Tracker is free.

Like a single Shipment each Order consists of a "to" and "from" Address to be used for each Shipment within the Order. These Addresses will be copied to each Shipment so there is no need to specify them multiple times. Each Shipment must then specify its Parcel, Options, and CustomsInfo.

                                                                                                                                  An Order created with valid Address Objects and Parcel data nested within the Order's Shipment object will automatically retrieve available shipping Rate options.

Alternatively, all the objects contained within an Order may be created at the same time.

                                                                                                                                  Reports can be generated using the Reports Endpoint. You can create and view Reports created between any time frame defined between the start_date and end_date.

                                                                                                                                  The Report api can be categorized into several types. These types determine which EasyPost Object to produce a Report for, and should be passed as the type in our libraries:

A detailed list of Report Object attributes are provided below.

                                                                                                                                  The expiry on url is 30 seconds. The default status on each new Report is "new". It changes to "available" if the csv file is created successfully or to "failed" when csv creation is unsuccessful. Additionally, null could also be a status.

                                                                                                                                  When a Report's status changes, a webhook will be created. See our Webhooks Guide for help on Event handling.

You will receive an error if consecutive requests are made to create a Report. This does not hold true for tracker Reports as it is set to always regenerate each time a request is placed.

                                                                                                                                    Note: A Batch is created in the background for Shipments as an intermediate process to creating ScanForms. You can create a ScanForm for 1 or a group of Shipments.

Several types of objects are processed asynchronously in the EasyPost system, so whenever an object updates, an Event is sent via HTTP POST to each configured webhook URL. The Webhook object provides CRUD operations for all Webhooks.

                                                                                                                                  Currently, our recommended best practice for securing Webhooks involves using basic authentication and HTTPS on your endpoint. This will help prevent any altering of any information communicated to you by EasyPost, prevent any third parties from seeing your webhooks in transit, and will prevent any third parties from masquerading as EasyPost and sending fraudulent data. EasyPost performs certificate validation and requires any TLS-enabled (HTTPS) webhook recipients to have a certificate signed by a public trusted certification authority. We do not support sending webhooks to over SSLv2, SSLv3, or any connection using so-called export-grade ciphers. For documentation on how to set up your server with TLS, we recommend Mozilla's guide to Server-Side TLS and Qualys's SSL/TLS deployment best practices guide.

                                                                                                                                  In general, a Webhook's endpoint should return a status code of 2XX. A 200 is preferred, but any 2XX status will indicate to our system that the Webhook request was successful. Endpoints that return a large volume and rate of failures over a period of time will get automatically disabled by the system; a disabled Webhook can be re-enabled using the Webhook update endpoint.

The first is the standard (parent) User object. It represents your account state, settings, and credentials to log in via the website.

Passing an id will allow the update of a child or the authenticated User. Passing no id will update the authenticated User.

                                                                                                                                  Since children also have the ability to authenticate themselves they can be updated without passing an id. Children may only have their "name" field updated, all other fields are ignored.

                                                                                                                                  All update requests are considered partial updates.

If you are representing multiple end users, each with their own set of carrier credentials it can make sense to organize them under a child User.

                                                                                                                                  Other than organizing activity and CarrierAccounts, the central advantage of a child account is that billing flows through the parent's payment information. This allows the child to not have to duplicate payment information.

                                                                                                                                  The structure of a child User is identical to its parent, which means that their representations contain many more properties than are actually used. As well, creating a child User requires almost none of the properties necessary for creating a top-level User.

                                                                                                                                  POST /users

Any User creation attempt made with an authenticated request (via API key or cookie) is assumed to be the creation of a child of that User.

                                                                                                                                  The name attribute is the only user-settable value on child accounts. It is also optional, as one will automatically generated if it is not supplied.

                                                                                                                                  The CarrierType object provides an interface for determining the valid fields of a CarrierAccount. The list of CarrierType objects only changes when a new carrier is added to EasyPost.

                                                                                                                                  The CarrierType objects consist of their top level attributes as well as a fields object that contains credentials and sometimes test_credentials sub-objects, which themselves are collections of attributes for CarrierAccount creation as well as metadata about presentation and the naming of said attributes.

                                                                                                                                  There are a couple special case CarrierAccounts, with structures differing somewhat from the norm. For instance, instead of credentials for UspsAccount, it has only auto_link: true, which indicates that it is an account that can be added or removed without any carrier-specific fields.

                                                                                                                                  The other custom option in the fields list is custom_workflow: true, which indicates that the EasyPost website interface includes special processing for signups for the associated CarrierType. Carriers with a custom workflow will also present their normal credential rules, but it is considered unsafe to directly add a CarrierAccount of this type with these attributes filled out via another source than the EasyPost custom workflow.

                                                                                                                                  CarrierType object

                                                                                                                                  Each EasyPost account is automatically provided a USPS account managed by EasyPost.

                                                                                                                                  Other operations, such as Shipment creation, can reference CarrierAccounts to reduce the scope of data returned. For instance, you may have multiple warehouses that need to use distinct FedEx SmartPost credentials to request the correct rates. Rate objects will include a carrier_account_id field which can be used to determine the account used for rating.
