Multi-carrier shipping API integration with python

purplship - The Open Source multi-carrier shipping SDK

puprlship is a modern development kit that simplifies the integration of shipping carriers services into an app.

The key features are:

• Unified API: A standardized set of models representing the common shipping data (Address, Parcel, Shipment...)
• Intuitive API: A library that abstracts and unifies the typical shipping API services (Rating, Shipping, Tracking...)
• Multi-carrier: Integrate purplship once and connect to multiple shipping carrier APIs
• Custom carrier: A framework to integrate a shipping carrier services within hours instead of months

For a complete shipping management REST API with a dashboard checkout purplship-server.
