Questions & answers
How can I effectively utilise the Sendcloud Shipping API for seamless shipping operations?
There are multiple strategies for maximising the efficiency of our API utilisation. For example, you have the option to generate Parcels in large quantities, retrieve recently updated Parcels by utilising the "updated_after" parameter, or leverage webhooks to receive updates directly pushed to your system. To perform bulk announcements efficiently through our API, consider executing them in smaller batches and in parallel.
How can I leverage the power of the Shipping API to instantly generate labels when creating parcels?
To generate parcels and shipping labels simultaneously through the API, include the 'request_label' field set to 'true' in the request to the Create a parcel endpoint. Further details on this process can be found in our documentation.
Is it possible to apply shipping rules when using the Shipping API to create parcels?
When creating parcels via the panel, shipping rules will be applicable if the 'apply_shipping_rules' field is set to true.
Is there a way to test the Shipping API without incurring charges for the labels generated?
For testing purposes, you have the option to use the Sendcloud shipping method called "Unstamped letter" when creating your parcels.
When establishing a direct courier contract, can I access all of my shipping methods through the API?
Certainly! If you have successfully connected your own courier contract, you can retrieve both your custom methods and Sendcloud methods.
Can I retrieve my own pricing from direct courier contracts using the Shipping API to check rates and compare shipping methods?
