Retirement Date of all Web Tools APIs:
All Web Tools API usage must be migrated to USPS APIs before January 25, 2025. These APIs include services such as address hygiene tools, package tracking tools, proof of delivery, scheduling and managing package pickup, creating customs forms, checking rates, getting service standards and commitments, postal facility information, parcel locker locations, etc. USPS encourages you to take this season of opportunity to move these non-label API services to more robust USPS APIs before the upcoming peak shipping season.
