Does uShip have a Shipping API?

Yes, uShip’s API is RESTful and follows the HTTP protocol. uShip offers several API’s so that your website or application can be a part of the uShip marketplace.

For example,

• as a Shipping Customer, you may want to get pricing “How much would it cost to ship this item?”, or
• as a Service Provider, you may want to provide pricing "This is how much we quote to ship a particular item” or search listings based on customizable criteria.

Eventually, our goal is to provide APIs for all core features on the uShip marketplace. We prioritize the development of the APIs based on revenue, partnership opportunities, and development resources. Contact our business development team for more detail: partners@uship.com.
