EzRates Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

Provides domestic or international rates based on weight, service, and origin/destination information.

Syntax

DShippingSDK.Ezrates

Remarks

The EzRates class provides a standardized interface to all 3 supported carriers. This allows you to reduce the code needed to create an application supporting multiple carriers. For more fine grained control over settings specific to individual carriers you may wish to use the class that is specific to the carrier.

When providing origin, destination information, weight, and service, this class allows a user to obtain a rate quote for a specific service, or a list of available services with the respective rate quotes.

You can send a rate request by calling the GetRates method for:

• a specific service (when RequestedService is specified). In this case, the class will return rates for packages based on a combination of origin, destination, service type, weight, and package type. This also checks if the requested service is available, checks your origin/destination pair and ship date to determine whether the service you requested is a valid service type.
• all available services (when RequestedService is set to UNSPECIFIED, which is the default value) and a specified destination.

When requesting a rate quote, include as much detail as possible about your shipment. This information is important for calculating the correct shipping costs with surcharges.

Rating for a Multiple Package Shipment (MPS) is available for FedEx and UPS, but not USPS.

Please note that all rate quotes are estimates only and may differ from the actual invoiced amount.

To use this class, you must set the appropriate Account settings for the specified Provider.

Canada Post Setup and Required Properties

When retrieving rates via Canada Post, the following fields are required:

You can optionally set the following fields when requesting rates:

Note: Rates will only be retrieved for the first package within Packages, as multiple package shipments are not supported.

After a successful GetRates call, the following fields will be populated:

Note: Contract based rate quotes are also supported by setting CanadaContractId to your Canada Post Contract ID prior to calling GetRates.

The Canada Post URLS are:

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertStoreType,setter=setSSLCertStoreType:) int SSLCertStoreType;

- (int)SSLCertStoreType;
- (void)setSSLCertStoreType :(int)newSSLCertStoreType;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The class supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used the class will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

SSLCertSubject Property (EzRates Module)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslCertSubject: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLCertSubject,setter=setSSLCertSubject:) NSString* SSLCertSubject;

- (NSString*)SSLCertSubject;
- (void)setSSLCertSubject :(NSString*)newSSLCertSubject;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properites are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store certificate with matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLCertSubject(sslCertSubject: String) throws

SSLProvider Property (EzRates Module)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslProvider: EzratesSSLProviders {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum EzratesSSLProviders: Int32 {
  case sslpAutomatic = 0
  case sslpPlatform = 1
  case sslpInternal = 2
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=SSLProvider,setter=setSSLProvider:) int SSLProvider;

- (int)SSLProvider;
- (void)setSSLProvider :(int)newSSLProvider;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected the platform implementation will be used by default in all cases in the macOS edition.

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (EzRates Module)

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sslServerCertEncoded: String {
  get {...}
}

public var sslServerCertEncodedB: Data {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncoded) NSString* SSLServerCertEncoded;

- (NSString*)SSLServerCertEncoded;

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=SSLServerCertEncodedB) NSData* SSLServerCertEncodedB;

- (NSData*)SSLServerCertEncodedB;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When Encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current Store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, Subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, Subject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

If an error occurs when setting this property an error will not be thrown. This property has a related method which will throw an error:

public func setSSLServerCertEncodedB(sslServerCertEncoded: Data) throws
public func setSSLServerCertEncoded(sslServerCertEncoded: String) throws

Timeout Property (EzRates Module)

A timeout for the module.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var timeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

TotalWeight Property (EzRates Module)

Total shipment's weight.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var totalWeight: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=totalWeight,setter=setTotalWeight:) NSString* totalWeight;

- (NSString*)totalWeight;
- (void)setTotalWeight :(NSString*)newTotalWeight;

Default Value

"1.0"

Remarks

This indicates shipment's weight.

Allows for only one decimal point and one decimal place.

For FedEx, this property is required unless there is only one package in the shipment and that package's weight is provided in the PackagesWeight property.

For UPS, this is required for shipments outside the US and non-document shipments inside the US. It will be returned in the server response only if provided in the request.

This property is not applicable to USPS shipments.

Config Method (EzRates Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

GetRates Method (EzRates Module)

Returns rate information for a specified or all available services.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func getRates() throws -> Void

- (void)getRates;

Remarks

To get the courtesy rate quotes for the Provider's services, you can call the GetRates method. If rates are needed for a specific service type, you will have to set the RequestedService to the value you need the rates for (other than 0 : stUnspecified). The RequestedService identifies the specific service for which you want to retrieve rate information.

If the rates are wanted for all available services, you should set the RequestedService to 0 (stUnspecified). Following validation, the EzRates identifies and rates all available services. The server response will include a list of services, their associated rate, and guaranteed delivery time, if available.

In either case, the following properties or config settings are sent in the request (if any of these have not been set, their default values will be used instead):

• Account (required)
• RequestedService (required)
• SenderAddress(required)
• RecipientAddress (required)
• Packages (required)

Returned values upon a successful reply are:

• Services

Reset Method (EzRates Module)

Resets the internal state of the component and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func reset() throws -> Void

- (void)reset;

Remarks

The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.

Error Event (EzRates Module)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onError(errorCode: Int32, description: String)

- (void)onError:(int)errorCode :(NSString*)description;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

Notification Event (EzRates Module)

Notification returned by the server upon successful request (if applicable).

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onNotification(message: String)

- (void)onNotification:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

When sending a request, the server may return with a successful reply or an error. However, even when a transaction is successful, a warning or a note might still be returned by the server. In such cases, the Notification event is fired.

Notifications returned through this event are non-fatal and shipments will still be processes, labels will still be printable, rates are still returned, etc. These notifications should be treated as informational only.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (EzRates Module)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSSLServerAuthentication(certEncoded: Data, certSubject: String, certIssuer: String, status: String, accept: inout Bool)

- (void)onSSLServerAuthentication:(NSData*)certEncoded :(NSString*)certSubject :(NSString*)certIssuer :(NSString*)status :(int*)accept;

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (EzRates Module)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

func onSSLStatus(message: String)

- (void)onSSLStatus:(NSString*)message;

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

AddressDetail Type

Represents the address details of a sender or recipient.

Remarks

This type contains descriptive data of physical location of a sender or recipient.

Example: Setting the fields of a sender SenderAddress addr = new SenderAddress addr.Address1 = "100 Somewhere St." addr.Address2 = "Ste 100" addr.City = "Raleigh" addr.State = "NC" addr.ZipCode = "27154" addr.CountryCode = "US"
