Filtering
When querying an endpoint to return multiple results back, you can use query string parameters to filter the results that you are getting back. Shippo currently supports a results parameter and some date filtering parameters (only currently supported on the Shipments endpoint).
Results
The response will be paginated for however many you had specified in the results query string parameter, so by default you would only see 5 per page, with a next field indicating if there is another page of results. A previous field will give any previous pages if you’re not currently looking at the first page.
Example
URL: https://api.goshippo.com/carrier_accounts/?results=10

}You can see in the above response the amount of carrier accounts happen to line up with the amount we requested back, but if we requested 7 results, there would only be 7 carriers in the response with a url in the next field.
Date Filtering
When querying the Shipments endpoint you can have an additional way to filter results by limiting the date range. We expect a date formatted to the ISO 8601 standard, and you can see some example below of what that looks like. You can retrieve any 90 day range (or smaller) of shipments by using the following query string parameters:
object_created_gt– object(s) created greater than a provided date timeobject_created_gte– object(s) created greater than or equal to a provided date timeobject_created_lt– object(s) created less than a provided date timeobject_created_lte– object(s) created less than or equal to a provided date time
Date format examples:
"2017-01-01""2017-01-01T03:30:30"or"2017-01-01T03:30:30.5""2017-01-01T03:30:30Z"
Example
URL: https://api.goshippo.com/shipments/?results=10&object_created_gte=2017-08-01T00:00:00&object_created_lte=2017-08-31T00:00:00

}
]
}The above response includes all shipments created on or after August 1, 2017 up to and including August 31, 2017. If object_created_gt and object_created_lt were used, it would only retrieve shipments betweenthose dates. You can use any combination of object_created_gt/object_created_gte and object_created_lt/object_created_lte to filter how you need. You just need to be sure that the date range is 90 days or less.
