Interesting. I could immediately use the simple address verification. I wonder what the return value of a purchase call is?

- jstreebin 14y agoI'm planning on making it a URL to a pdf of the postage...that work?
- waterside81 14y agoI think USPS labels are returned as PNGs - would probably be easier to just shoot that back, no? At least our method of generating USPS labels (Stamps.com API) shoots back PNGs.
- jstreebin 14y agoAh, okay. Yes, that'd be easier. Other services provide PDFs but agree PNGs better
- biot 14y agoYou could bake this into the REST API via the "Accept:" header. The default when not specified is whatever you set, but the caller can specify "Accept: image/png" to get a PNG image, "Accept: application/pdf" for PDF, and so on for whatever other types of output you support. The advantage of PDF (or SVG even) is that, if it was constructed using text/vectors, the output resolution is limited only by the capabilities of the printer.
- jstreebin 14y agoAh, great idea. I like that
