Subject: Important - Action Required! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implemented for Web Tool APIs

Dear USPS Web Tools Customer,

Subject: Important ? Action Required! Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implemented for Web Tool APIs

 

As of September 30, 2006, you will be required to communicate via https://, instead of http://, for a total of 46 USPS Web Tools APIs. This change will also require you to change the Web Tools server called from production.shippingapis.com to secure.shippingapis.com.

 

After September 30, 2006, the http:// instances of impacted APIs shall no longer be accessible.

 

Please be advised the list of APIs impacted, as detailed in table below, are currently accessible under SSL and therefore you can begin calling these new instances immediately. Your User ID and the API names are the same.

 

The USPS has implemented such changes to secure your personally-identifiable information (PII) data transmitted over the Internet. Technical user guides available via: http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm have been updated and denote proper URL prefixes.

 

Impacted APIs:

 

API - Name

 

CarrierPickupAvailability - Carrier Pickup Availability

CarrierPickupCancel - Carrier Pickup Cancel

CarrierPickupChange - Carrier Pickup Change

CarrierPickupInquiry - Carrier Pickup Inquiry

CarrierPickupSchedule - Carrier Pickup Schedule

Courtesy - Courtesy Reply Mail Label

In summary, the implementation of SSL in Web Tools will require you to alter your code for aforementioned APIs to call URL:

 

 

 

- https://secure.shippingapis.com, instead of http://production.shippingapis.com

 

 

 

Please note that the XML schema will not change as a result of this effort.

 

You are strongly encouraged to alter your software to accommodate these changes as soon as possible.

 

 

 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding as these changes are implemented. If you have any additional concerns or technical inquiries, please contact the USPS Internet Customer Care Center via email at [email protected] or phone at 1-800-344-7779.

 

Thank you,

Patti Mason

Manager, USPS.com

I emailed USPS and they told me that the rate calculator API will not be affected by this change. So we don't have to do anything.

 

Thanks for your response Junichi! That's what I thought...
