  1. USPS Rates Calculator (ShippingAPI Alternative) on USPS Server Meltdown · · Score: 1
    Hey folks,

    The shipping api is down, however the rate calculator is available. We provide the rate calculation engine to the folks that provide the shipping api. The shipping api offers numerous services and we are just one of them.

    If you require domestic rates calculations, as received by ShippingAPI.dll, you can access our rate engine directly.

    Accessing the rate calculator api is very similiar to how you access this functionality from the shipping api.

    Getting started:

    A simple demo site that will allow you to learn/test a subset the API:
    http://postcalc.usps.gov/domSDK/sdkdemo.htm [usps.gov]

    For programmatic access use the XML over HTTP Application:
    http://postcalc.usps.gov/SdkXml.aspx

    Documentation is available but I do not have a publically available site to post this on. If a site is available, just let me know and I will post the SDK documentation there.

    For web site access:
    Domestic Retail - http://postcalc.usps.gov/
    International Retail - http://ircalc.usps.gov/
    Domestic Business - http://dbcalc.usps.gov/

    Let me know if I can help.
