GetManifest Method

Gets the manifest info and file for the specified manifest.

Syntax

canadapostship.getManifest(manifestIdx, [callback])

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 this 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

When called, this will populate the manifest details in ManifestDetails at the specified index, specified by ManifestIdx. It will also write the manifest file to the path specified in ManifestFile.

In order to print a label and manifest to be tendered to a Canada Post driver, you must:

1. Assign each shipment a GroupId and then call GetPackageLabel for each package in the shipment.
2. Call TransmitShipments with the GroupId for the shipment.
3. Call GetManifest for each manifest in ManifestDetails.

Note that this only applies when submitting a contract shipment (ie. CanadaPostContractId is set).
