However, you can use it as a starting point and update it for your needs and future changes to our APIs.
You can use our Open API Specification to build your own library using tools like the OpenAPI Generator and Swagger Codegen.
Shippo is a shipping API that connects you with multiple shipping carriers (such as USPS, UPS, DHL, Canada Post, Australia Post, UberRUSH and many others) through one interface.
Print a shipping label in 10 mins using our default USPS and DHL Express accounts. No need to register for a carrier account to get started.

Add this dependency to your project's POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.goshippo</groupId>
<artifactId>shippo-java-client</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
</dependency>You'll need to manually install the following JARs:
- The latest Shippo JAR from https://github.com/goshippo/shippo-java-client/releases
- Google Gson from http://google-gson.googlecode.com/files/google-gson-2.2.4-release.zip.
You can also load the source into Eclipse, simply clone this repository. Then open up Eclipse (the latest eclipse comes with maven). Within eclipse, File --> Import In the dialog window that appears, chose "Existing Maven Projects", from there on, follow the wizard, and you will have imported the project. You can then run Example.java, or any of the individual JUnit test cases.
Check out the file Example.java for more examples, alternatively you can look through all of the test classes for each particular model for examples. For useful debugging information including headers, server raw response etc, set Shippo.setDEBUG(true);
Below is a brief code example:
/* Code Example */
public static void main(String[] args) {
Shippo.apiKey = "<Your Shippo authToken>";
Map<String, Object> addressMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
addressMap.put("name", "Shippo Itle");
addressMap.put("company", "Shippo");
addressMap.put("street1", "215 Clayton St.");
addressMap.put("city", "San Francisco");
addressMap.put("state", "CA");
addressMap.put("zip", "94117");
addressMap.put("country", "US");
addressMap.put("phone", "+1 555 341 9393");
addressMap.put("email", "test@goshipppo.com");
try {
Address address = Address.create(addressMap);
System.out.println(address.toString());
System.out.println("Zip code: " + address.getZip());
} catch (ShippoException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}You must have Maven installed. To run the tests, simply run mvn test. You can run particular tests by passing -D test=Class#method -- for example, -D test=ShippoTest#testAddressCreate or for an entire file -D test=AddressTest.
You can also run the tests in eclipse.
