Shippo is Built for Developers
- #replace with your API token shippo.auth = '<TOKEN>'
- # create addresses and package address_from = shippo.Address.create(...) address_to = shippo.Address.create(...) parcel = shippo.Parcel.create(...)
- # create shipment request shipment = shippo.Shipment.create( address_from=address_from, address_to=address_to, parcel=parcel)
- # purchase label label = shippo.Transaction.create(rate=shipment.rates.results[0].object_id)
