Easypost UDF Print USPS Postage Labels

[dcat127]

I created this for a project that I was working on. Hopefully it will be helpful to others.

You need to sign-up for a free account at https://www.easypost.com/ in order to generate your own key. It also requires the base64 udf

#include "base64.au3"
#include "easypost.au3"
#include <IE.au3>
Global $rate
Global $login = ":" ; Enter your own key here

    $from = _getaddress("Test Person", "1234 John Green RD", "", "North Preston", "NY", "14837", "US","1234567890")
    $to = _getaddress("Test Person", "1234 Johnson Road", "", "North Preston", "NY", "14837", "US","1234567890")
    $parcel = _getpackage("Parcel", 24)
    $shipment = _getshipment($to, $from, $parcel)
    $label = _getlabel($shipment, $rate)

    If StringLen($label) > 200 Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "Some Kind of Problem")
        Exit
    EndIf

    _IECreate($label)

Have you compared EasyPost's API to those from USPS? I'm currently using the USPS Address Verification API, and just wondering how the one from EasyPost compares.

FWIW, your sample code wouldn't run for me. I had to supply a valid phone number in the From address; otherwise, it returned the following from the GetLabel routine:

{"error":"Missing or invalid data element: FromPhone. Error encountered (Log ID: 48388)"}

Also, seems like you should be checking the return status code for errors.

HTH, Dan
