The Java SDK of AfterShip API

aftership-sdk-java

The Java SDK of AfterShip API, please see API documentation in: https://www.aftership.com/docs/api/4

Requirements:

• JDK 1.8 or superior.

Installation

Maven

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.aftership</groupId>
  <artifactId>aftership-sdk</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.3</version>
</dependency>

Gradle

implementation "com.aftership:aftership-sdk:2.1.3"

Quick Examples

Main Steps

The following code example shows the three main steps to use aftership-sdk-java:

1. Create AfterShip Object.

AfterShip afterShip = new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", 
	new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));

2. Get the Endpoint Interface and call the method, then return the object.

CourierList courierList = afterShip.getCourierEndpoint().listCouriers();

3. Handling Data or AftershipException or RateLimit

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
    new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
  CourierList courierList = afterShip.getCourierEndpoint().listCouriers();
  // using data
  System.out.println(courierList);
} catch (SdkException | RequestException e) {
  // handle SdkException, RequestException
  System.out.println(e.getType());
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  System.out.println(e.getData());
} catch (ApiException e) {
  // handle ApiException
  if (e.isTooManyRequests()) {
    // Analyze RateLimit when TooManyRequests occur
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getReset());
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getLimit());
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getRemaining());
    return;
  }
  System.out.println(e.getType());
  System.out.println(e.getCode());
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Troubleshoot

Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

The SSL Protocol of api.aftership.com is TLSV1.2, and the Cipher is AES256-SHA. It is a known issue due to this reason:

The Cipher Suite of your JVM not include TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

You can check the CipherSuite according to this article

Execute java CipherSuite api.aftership.com:443, under normal circumstances, it should output

CipherSuite used on the handshake:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

Otherwise, you should check the cipherSuite of your JVM.

1. Make sure crypto.policy=unlimited is effective in the jre/lib/securityjava.security
2. If your JDK version number is lower than 7u171 or 8u161, please follow this oracle article to download JCE.

SSL protocol of your client is lower than TLSV1.2

You can check the protocol version used during the SSL negotiation by capturing transport packet

Error Handling

There are 4 kinds of exception

• AftershipException
• SdkException
• RequestException
• ApiException

Error object of this SDK contain fields:

• type - Require - type of the error, please handle each error by this field

• message - Optional - detail message of the error

• code - Optional - error code for API Error

  You can find tips for Aftership's error codes in here: https://docs.aftership.com/api/4/errors

  If it's Aftership's API Error, get code to confirm the cause of the error:

  catch (AftershipException e){
    if(e.isApiError()){
      System.out.println(e.getCode());
    }
  }

• data - Optional - data lead to the error

  The debug Data is a Map<String, Object> object that can get the call parameters.

  The following data may be available:

  catch (AftershipException e){
    System.out.println(e.getData());
    // or
    System.out.println(e.getData().get(DEBUG_DATA_KEY_REQUEST_CONFIG));
    System.out.println(e.getData().get(DEBUG_DATA_KEY_REQUEST_HEADERS));
    System.out.println(e.getData().get(DEBUG_DATA_KEY_REQUEST_DATA));
    System.out.println(e.getData().get(DEBUG_DATA_KEY_RESPONSE_BODY));
  }
  

AftershipException

AftershipException is the base class for all exception classes and can capture it for uniform handling.

See the Rate Limiter section for TooManyRequests in ApiException.

catch (AftershipException e){
  if(e.isApiError()){
    System.out.println(e.getCode());
    if(e.isTooManyRequests() && e instanceof ApiException){
      System.out.println(((ApiException)e).getRateLimit());
    }
  }
  System.out.println(e.getType());
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
  System.out.println(e.getData());
}

SdkException

Exception return by the SDK instance, mostly invalid param type when calling constructor or endpoint method error.Type is one of ErrorType Throw by the SDK instance

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
      new AfterShip(null, new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
} catch (SdkException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

/* ConstructorError: Invalid API key; type: ConstructorError */

Throw by endpoint method

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
      new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
  afterShip.getTrackingEndpoint().getTracking("", null);
} catch (SdkException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

/* ConstructorError: Required tracking id; type: ConstructorError */

RequestException

Error return by the request module error.Type could be HandlerError, etc.

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
      new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
  afterShip.getTrackingEndpoint().getTracking("abc", null);
} catch (RequestException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

/* null; type: HandlerError; */

ApiException

Error return by the AfterShip API
error.Type should be the same as https://www.aftership.com/docs/api/4/errors

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
      new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
  afterShip.getTrackingEndpoint().getTracking("abc", null);
} catch (ApiException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

/* The value of `id` is invalid.; type: BadRequest; code: 4015; */

Rate Limiter

To understand AfterShip rate limit policy, please see limit session in https://www.aftership.com/docs/api/4

You can get the recent rate limit by ApiException.getRateLimit().

try {
  AfterShip afterShip =
    new AfterShip("YOUR_API_KEY", new AftershipOption("https://api.aftership.com/v4"));
  afterShip.getCourierEndpoint().listCouriers();
} catch (SdkException | RequestException e) {
  System.out.println(e.getType());
} catch (ApiException e) {
  if (e.isTooManyRequests()) {
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getReset());
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getLimit());
    System.out.println(e.getRateLimit().getRemaining());
  }
}
// 1589869159
// 10
// 9

Timeout

When creating an Aftership object, you can define the timeout time for http requests, Of course, use the default value of 20 seconds when not set. The unit is milliseconds.

AftershipOption option = new AftershipOption();
option.setEndpoint("https://api.aftership.com/v4");
option.setCallTimeout(10 * 1000);
option.setConnectTimeout(10 * 1000);
option.setReadTimeout(10 * 1000);
option.setWriteTimeout(10 * 1000);
AfterShip afterShip = new AfterShip(SampleUtil.getApiKey(), option);

Shutdown

We recommend using only one AfterShip object to request interfaces of the API, and calling the shutdown method if you want to completely clean up all network resources when you shut down your system. In other cases, not running shutdown method has no effect.

try {
  afterShip.getCourierEndpoint().listCouriers();
} catch (RequestException | ApiException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
  try {
    afterShip.shutdown();
  } catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

Notes

• When specifying a tracking, the id is equivalent to the slug and tracking_number.

getTracking("l389dilsluk9ckaqmetr901y", null);

getTracking(new SlugTrackingNumber("acommerce", "1234567890"), null);
