How to use Ship&co API

Ship&co API enables you to integrate Ship&co's label generating features into your own system. You can find the up-to-date API Document on our homepage. 

There are two main steps: Authorization and API call.

1. Authorization
Setting an API Token to HTTP headers that can be issued in the Ship&Co dashboard enables you to be authorized and use our API. 

Follow the steps in this guide to get an API token. Once these steps are complete, you can create shipments - input shipment information including the specified shipping address, parcel, product information, carrier information, and the shipping label based on the consignee's address. See the guide for more details about shipments.

2. API Call
See the guide for more details.

Please Note:

* You need to have a Ship&co account to get access to Ship&co API. If you do not have an account yet, please register from here.

* The API usage fee is the same as our dashboard usage. For more information on our pricing plans, please check out here.

Ship&co offers an initial 14-day trial, where you can try out our services for free, with unlimited shipment volumes. There is no credit card information required either during your trial. After the trial, you need to add your credit card information in order to keep using our service.

* About Test Environment: adding `"test": true` in the `setup` enables you to create simulated labels which will not be charged. No need to add a credit card in your account for this testing usage. Test labels are currently available for every supported carrier, except Japan Post Domestic (YuPack / YuPacket). Details available from here for creating test labels.
