February 19, 200619 yr Newbies Has anyone developed a way for filemaker to get real time USPS ship rates from the web?
February 19, 200619 yr I don't know that there's any xml services interface with USPS directly (that I could find or understand anyway). Have you looked at Endicia.com? They have a few products, the simplest Endicia has several integration possibilities, as simple as constructing a URL for GetURL. This is on a Mac, but perhaps it also works with the Windows version: "endicia://newShipment/?address=" & Name1 & " " & Name2 & ¶ & Address1 & Case ( not IsEmpty(Address2); ¶ & Address2 ) & ¶ & City & " " & State & " " & Zip & ";description=" & ProductCode & ";value=" & Value & ";referenceID=" & ReferenceID There is also a full-blown xml interface. I've done a few simple transformations with it, but nothing extensive. It has a few different ways of handling files. Finally, there is a PC-only product, Galaxy, which uses ODBC.
