The Official Ruby SDK for ShipEngine API offering low-level access as well as convenience methods.

Install the ShipEngine SDK Gem via RubyGems

gem install shipengine_sdk

• The only configuration requirement is an API Key.

• create_label_from_rate - When retrieving rates for shipments using the get_rates method, the returned information contains a rate_id property that can be used to purchase a label without having to refill in the shipment information repeatedly.
• create_label_from_shipment_details - Purchase and print a label for shipment.
• get_rates - Given some shipment details and rate options, this method returns a list of rate quotes.
• list_carrier_accounts - Returns a list of carrier accounts that have been connected through the ShipEngine dashboard.
• track_by_label_id - Track a package by its associated label ID.
• track_using_carrier_code_and_tracking_number - Track a package by its associated trackng number.
• validate_addresses - 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.
• void_label_by_id - Void a label by its ID.

• ShipEngine - A configurable entry point to the ShipEngine API SDK, this class provides convenience methods for various ShipEngine API Services.

require "shipengine"

api_key = ENV["SHIPENGINE_API_KEY"]

shipengine = ShipEngine::Client.new(api_key)

• You will need to gem install bundler before using the following command to install dependencies from the Gemfile.

./bin/setup

This project adheres to the Conventional Commits specification.

This project makes use of Overcommit to enforce pre-commit/push hooks. Overcommit will be downloaded and initialized as part of running the ./bin/setup script, as outlined in the previous section.

• From then on when you commit code rake lint will run, and when you push code rake test and rake lint will run. Upon failure of either of these, you can run rake fix to auto-fix lint issues and format code, and re-commit/push.

• While you are writing tests as you contribute code you can run tests ad-hoc via rake using the following command:

rake test

• You can run tests and have them re-run when you save changes to a given file with guard.

guard

Lastly, you can format code & auto-fix lint errors with the following:

rake fix

Note: guard also provides a repl after tests run for quick repl development.

• You can start a pry repl that already has shipengine required bun running the following command.

./bin/console

If you prefer irb over pry, you can follow the instructions in the ./bin/console file. Please DO NOT commit any changes you make to that file, unless they are improvements to the console workflow.

Publishing new versions of the SDK to RubyGems is handled on GitHub via the Release Please GitHub Actions workflow. Learn more about about Release PRs, updating the changelog, and commit messages here.
