NAME Net::Easypost - Perl client for the Easypost web service VERSION version 0.12 SYNOPSIS use Net::Easypost; my $to = Net::Easypost::Address->new( name => 'Johnathan Smith', street1 => '710 East Water Street', city => 'Charlottesville', state => 'VA', zip => '22902', phone => '(434)555-5555', ); my $from = Net::Easypost::Address->new( name => 'Jarrett Streebin', phone => '3237078576', city => 'Half Moon Bay', street1 => '310 Granelli Ave', state => 'CA', zip => '94019', ); my $parcel = Net::Easypost::Parcel->new( length => 10.0, width => 5.0, height => 8.0, weight => 10.0, ); my $shipment = Net::Easypost::Shipment->new( to_address => $to, from_address => $from, parcel => $parcel, ); my $ezpost = Net::Easypost->new; my $label = $ezpost->buy_label($shipment, ('rate' => 'lowest')); printf("You paid \$%0.2f for your label to %s\n", $label->rate->rate, $to); $label->save; printf "Your postage label has been saved to '" . $label->filename . "'\n"; OVERVIEW This is a Perl client for the postage API at Easypost . Consider this API at beta quality mostly because some of these library calls have an inconsistent input parameter interface which I'm not super happy about. Still, there's enough here to get meaningful work done, and any future changes will be fairly cosmetic. At this time, Easypost only supports United States based addresses. Please note! All API errors are fatal via croak. If you need to catch errors more gracefully, I recommend using Try::Tiny in your implementation. API key: You must have your API key stored in an environment variable named EASYPOST_API_KEY (recommended) ATTRIBUTES requestor HTTP client to POST and GET METHODS verify_address This method attempts to validate an address. This call expects to take the same parameters (in a hashref) or an instance of Net::Easypost::Address, namely: * street1 * street2 * city * state * zip You may omit some of these attributes like city, state if you supply a zip, or zip if you supply a city, state. This call returns a new Net::Easypost::Address object. Along with the validated address, the "phone" and "name" fields will be copied from the input parameters, if they're set. get_rates This method will get postage rates between two zip codes. It takes the following input parameters: * to => an instance of Net::Easypost::Address * from => an instance of Net::Easypost::Address * parcel => an instance of Net::Easypost::Parcel This call returns an array of Net::Easypost::Rate objects in an arbitrary order. buy_label This method will attempt to purchase postage and generate a shipping label. It takes as input: * A Net::Easypost::Shipment object * A Net::Easypost::Rate object It returns a Net::Easypost::Label object. get_label This method retrieves a label from a past purchase. It takes the label filename as its only input parameter. It returns a Net::Easypost::Label object. list_labels This method returns an arrayref with all past purchased label filenames. It takes no input parameters. SUPPORT Please report any bugs or feature requests to "bug-net-easypost at rt.cpan.org", or through the web interface at .
