Methods

• createLabelFromRate - When retrieving rates for shipments using the getRatesWithShipmentDetails method, the returned information contains a rateId property that can be used to purchase a label without having to refill in the shipment information repeatedly.
• createLabelFromShipmentDetails - Purchase and print a label for shipment.
• getRatesWithShipmentDetails - Given some shipment details and rate options, this method returns a list of rate quotes.
• listCarriers - Returns a list of carrier accounts that have been connected through the ShipEngine dashboard.
• trackUsingLabelId - Track a package by its associated label ID.
• trackUsingCarrierCodeAndTrackingNumber - Track a package for a given carrier and tracking number.
• validateAddresses - Indicates whether the provided addresses are valid. If the addresses are valid, the method returns a normalized version based on the standards of the country in which the address resides. If an address cannot be normalized, an error is returned.
