ShipEngine JavaScript SDK

The official ShipEngine JavaScript SDK for Node.js

Quick Start

Install ShipEngine JavaScript SDK via npm.

npm install shipengine

The only configuration requirement is an API key.

const ShipEngine = require("shipengine");

const shipengine = new ShipEngine("___YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__");

Methods

createLabelFromRate - When retrieving rates for shipments using the getRatesWithShipmentDetails method, the returned information contains a rateId property that can be used to purchase a label without having to refill in the shipment information repeatedly.
createLabelFromShipmentDetails - Purchase and print a label for shipment.
getRatesWithShipmentDetails - Given some shipment details and rate options, this method returns a list of rate quotes.
listCarriers - Returns a list of carrier accounts that have been connected through the ShipEngine dashboard.
trackUsingLabelId - Track a package by its associated label ID.
trackUsingCarrierCodeAndTrackingNumber - Track a package for a given carrier and tracking number.
validateAddresses - Indicates whether the provided addresses are valid. If the addresses are valid, the method returns a normalized version based on the standards of the country in which the address resides. If an address cannot be normalized, an error is returned.
