var shipengine = new ShipEngine("___YOUR_API_KEY_HERE__");

Methods

• CreateLabelFromRate - When retrieving rates for shipments using the GetRatesWithShipmentDetails method, the returned information contains a RateId property that can be used to purchase a label without having to refill in the shipment information repeatedly.
• CreateLabelFromShipmentDetails - Purchase and print a label for shipment.
• GetRatesWithShipmentDetails - Given some shipment details and rate options, this method returns a list of rate quotes.
• ListCarriers - Returns a list of carrier accounts that have been connected through the ShipEngine dashboard.
• TrackUsingLabelId - Track a package by its associated label ID.
• TrackUsingCarrierCodeAndTrackingNumber - Track a package for a given carrier and tracking number.
• ValidateAddresses - Indicates whether the provided addresses are valid. If the addresses are valid, the method returns a normalized version based on the standards of the country in which the address resides. If an address cannot be normalized, an error is returned.
• VoidLabelWithLabelId - Void a label with its Label ID.
• CreateManifests - Create a shipment manifest.

Building

To build the project locally on your computer:

1. Clone this repo
   git clone https://github.com/ShipEngine/shipengine-dotnet.git

2. Install .NET 5.x

3. Install dependencies
   dotnet restore

4. Build the code
   dotnet build

5. Format the code
   dotnet format

6. Run the tests
   dotnet test
   
   By default, the test project targets all supported frameworks, if your environment only supports a subset then you can specify in the CLI.
   
   dotnet test -f net5.0

Generating from OpenAPI

To regenerate the SDK from the OpenAPI spec, you will first need to get the latest version of the spec. It can be downloaded from the online documentation and should be saved to ./generation/swagger.json. Then run npm run generate from the command line. This will regenerate all the API calls and models, but not docs or tests.

The templates for autogeneration were extracted using the command:

npx @openapitools/openapi-generator-cli author template -g csharp -o generation/templates

Release

Create a fork for your changes.

Update the Changelog with any relevant new features or bug fixes and modify the packageVersion property in the .openapitools.json file to match the new version.

In the ShipEngine.csproj file, update to the desired version (using semantic versioning) and push to your fork.

Run dotnet format

Create a pull request.

Once a member of the ShipEngine team reviews your PR and it's merged to main, the build pipeline will handle all the necessary github tags and nuget packaging and publishing.
