Overview

The Allocation Rates API allows you to get quotes for and buy shipping labels for orders. Rates are quoted and labels are purchased against an order’s allocation — an order can have multiple allocations. You can retrieve allocation IDs from the allocations array in the GET /orders/{order_id} response.

Before purchasing a shipping label, make sure the dimensions of the allocation package are set.

You can set the dimensions of the allocation package using the POST /allocations/{allocation_id}/allocation_package endpoint.

Labels purchased through the API are eligible for A-to-z and SAFE-T claims protections in the same way as labels purchased through Veeqo’s web UI. To verify that a rate is claims protected, look for the protections array in the rate response.
