Hi Rob, Sounds very promising!
I have a few clients who use courier services heavily (although, I'm not sure which company they use), and I can see a lot of benefit in this for them! Is there a cost to obtaining a key? (for testing, or production use) What methods are available for API access? SOAP/HTTP/TCP? ~ C -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Sent: Friday, 18 September 2009 9:45 a.m. To: NZ PHP Users Group Subject: [phpug] Re: Calculating Freight Charges With NZ Post Yes. The Track and Trace API can currently be used for all packages which can currently be tracked via the nzpost.co.nz website (this includes Courier Post packages). If anybody wants an API key and the documentation let me know. .. and again - guidance + advice for the Rate Finder API would be much appreciated. cheers, Rob On Sep 16, 2:14 pm, "Nathan Kennedy" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the update, Rob. > > Will track and traces be queryable via the API?
