USPSServer Property

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getUSPSServer([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setUSPSServer([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

URL for the USPS server where the requests are sent.

There are two different live and test URLs that have been provided by the US Postal service for use with the Webtools APIs (and these classs). There is one plaintext URL and one SSL-secured URL for both live and testing. These URLs are listed below, along with the classs that use them.

Live Servers:

Test Servers:

These test servers return CANNED RESPONSES. They will only accept a specific set of data, and will only return one pre-formed response. Any transaction that does not contain the exact data they expect will cause an error to be generated. Because of these limitations we strongly recommend you test using a live account.

Note that the label components must use the live server for testing, but with the Certify configuration setting set to True.

When PostageProvider has been set to ppEndicia, the live production URL is "https://labelserver.endicia.com/LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx".
