Shyp is awesome. They can pick up what you have to ship in minutes and take care of all the packing and addressing. Their rates are as cheap as you can get and they have a custom boxing process that minimizes void space.
This would be great for shipping things in bulk if it weren't for them not having an API, or any other means to enter shipments other than their iPhone app.
I had 100 shipments to make, so I threw together this script to automate the creation of the shipments. This isn't for the faint of heart, you'll have to know how to create a transparent HTTPS proxy and hook your iPhone up to it so you can get your session and authorization headers. I'm not going to go into that, but once you get the appropriate headers, put them in a file called shyp.headers
. You'll also need to create a shipment manually through the app in order to get a PICKUP_ID
. Once you have that, just add your addresses to the array called addresses
and run the script. I also didn't want to figure out
