I looked over their api, but the one thing that I do not see anything on is actually paying for the label. How do you pay for it? Currently, I use PayPal to print the label and the costs are deducted from my account. Are we able to do something similar?

I was told that the only way to achieve this was by going through a 3rd party (Endicia).

I was having a terrible time working with USPS support, and their docs are not very useful. After struggling with them for days, I found your tutorial and had our delivery confirmation labels working in about an hour. This was exactly what I was looking for.

The only thing is that it retrieves nothing from the secure servers. I took only the curl part that go to the server and sends the XML, I got no response what so ever. Any ideas? Hi Mark,

I'm using testing server url and running testing scripts as provided in the API Doc. But its giving error: API Authorization failure. ExpressMailLabel is not a valid API name for this protocol. What could be the reason? or Do i need to request access for testing also? Hi Mark,

I've been searching for hours on google, and this is exactly what I needed. I too am struggling with what the last 3 lines should be to convert this into a PDF file.

I'm trying to get it print on my dymo thermal printer like PayPal shipping does. It would be great if you could pay for the shipping in the same api call with a credit card. I've been waiting for that for years. I wrote some code similar to yours last summer. I’m trying to get it print on my dymo thermal printer like PayPal shipping does.
