Hello,

I could use some assistance figuring out what the USPS is asking me to input to run a test to the shipping calculator test server.

I registered and received a user ID from USPS, now it is asking me to run a test:

Your Web Tools User ID is: 111XXXX11111 (example ID only)


Your Web Tools User ID, shown above, is required to test and integrate USPS Web Tools APIs. With this ID, you may begin sending calls to the test server. Depending on the API, the address to the test server is either http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll or https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll. Use this information in combination with your User ID and your XML string to send a request to the USPS servers. For more details, refer to the programming guides (located at http://www.usps.com/webtools) for the specific API you are integrating.

A sample test request would look like: "http://testing.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPITest.dll?API=[API_Name]&XML=[XML_String_containing_User_ID]"

I want to use the Domestic Rate Calculator and the International Rate Calculator but I just don't have enough brain power to figure out how I am suppose to fill out the test request or what I am suppose to do with it!

I read the USPS manuals but I don't get it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ~ Maureen
