Shipment creation

/shipment/batch
ShipmentBatch

Purpose and usage#

The shipment/batch method is used to create a request for retrieving a shipment or a group of shipments. When the method is called, the return value is batchId, which is then used to obtain the processing status of the shipment and subsequently to retrieve the label.
To successfully call the method, it is necessary to use the batchId, which is obtained from the Location header in the response to the POST shipment/batch request.
