USPS Update?

[Guest]

Hi all, it seems that the USPS API has changed! Any idea on how this will effect the osC module? Could this be why my international customers can only ship via "Global Variable Weight Package" and not any of the affordable "Parcel Post" options?

 

Thanks!

 

The USPS Web Tools program has enhanced the Domestic Rates Calculator API

(V1) to include two new features.  The new Domestic Rates Calculator API

(V2) includes a rate for the new Priority Mail Flat Rate Box and the new

service option, "ALL", that returns all service rates with one call.  A

revised user guide is now available at usps.com/webtools.  A summary

containing highlighted changes is attached to this email.  All of the Web

Tools to include these new features are available to postal customers free

of charge. 

 

What has changed in the Domestic Rates Calculator V2!

? The name of the new API is RateV2

? The name of the request is RateV2Request

? A new service type option of "All" is available in the RateV2Request

 

? New containers are available to Priority Mail customers -- FRB-1 and

FRB-2 (flat rate box)

? The name of the response is RateV2Response

? The optional "RestrictionCodes" response tag from V1 has been

eliminated.

? The optional "RestrictionDescription" response tag from V1 has been

changed to "Restrictions"

? The response XML, when the "All" option has been requested, will

include all applicable rates and service names.  Implementors of this API

will need to modify their code to loop through the returned XML to retrieve

each postage element.

Hi:

 

Yes, USPS changed the International API quite a while back, causing the problem you describe.

It seems like every week somebody hits this issue, because the stock USPS module hasn't been updated. I don't think this is any relation to the Domestic Rates API update.
