Use our latestShippo Python SDK 🚀

Shippo is a shipping API that connects you withmultiple 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.

You will first need toregister for a Shippo account to use our API. It's free to sign up, free to use the API. Only pay to print a live label, test labels are free.

Configurable variables previously available in the main module (ex:shippo.api_key) have been moved to theshippo.config module.

importshipposhippo.config.api_key="<API-KEY>"shippo.config.api_version="2018-02-08"shippo.config.verify_ssl_certs=Trueshippo.config.rates_req_timeout=30.0shippo.config.timeout_in_seconds=None# default timeout set in the above line is:# 80 seconds for RequestsClient# 55 seconds for UrlFetchClientshippo.config.app_name="Name of your Application"# Not requiredshippo.config.app_version="Version of Application"# Not required

#!shellpython setup.py install

or pip (https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/index.html):
