README
A PHP wrapper for the accessing and interacting with the ShipEngine v1 API.
Not actively maintained though functional for my own needs. Use at your own discretion
Requirements
Requires PHP 8.1+. Version 2.0 is a breaking release that adopts enums and strict typing —
see CHANGELOG.md for the full migration notes.
How to use
$addressFormatter = new Acme\AddressFormatter; // implements Address\FormatterInterface $shipEngine = new jsamhall\ShipEngine\ShipEngine('your_shipengine_api_key', $addressFormatter); $carriers = $shipEngine->listCarriers();
Example
Minimal example to implement the Quick Start example:
use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Address\ArrayFormatter; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\ShipEngine; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Address\Address; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Address\ResidentialIndicator; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Shipment\Package; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Labels\Shipment; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Carriers\USPS\ServiceCode; $to = new Address(); $to->setName('Mickey and Minnie Mouse'); $to->setPhone('+1 (714) 781-456'); $to->setCompanyName('The Walt Disney Company'); $to->setAddressLine1('address_line1'); $to->setCityLocality('Burbank'); $to->setStateProvince('CA'); $to->setPostalCode('91521'); $to->setCountryCode('US'); // Addresses default to residential; declare a commercial address explicitly: $to->setAddressResidentialIndicator(ResidentialIndicator::No); $from = new Address; $from->setName('Mickey and Minnie Mouse'); $from->setPhone('+1 (714) 781-456'); $from->setCompanyName('The Walt Disney Company'); $from->setAddressLine1('address_line1'); $from->setCityLocality('Burbank'); $from->setStateProvince('CA'); $from->setPostalCode('91521'); $from->setCountryCode('US'); $from->setAddressResidentialIndicator(ResidentialIndicator::No); $weight = new Package\Weight(1.0); $dimensions = new Package\Dimensions(10.0, 15.0, 8.0); $package = new Package($weight, $dimensions); $shipment = new Shipment(ServiceCode::PriorityMail, $to, $from, [$package]); $addressFormatter = new ArrayFormatter(); $shipEngine = new ShipEngine('your_shipengine_api_key', $addressFormatter); $testMode = true; $label = $shipEngine->createLabel($shipment, $testMode);
Addresses
ShipEngine expects a certain address format. This Library offers the Address\Address class which conforms
to this format. All methods that require an Address as part of the request (e.g., validation, rating, labels etc.)
expect an Address\Address in order to ensure consistency and compatibility.
You should write an implementation Address\FormatterInterface that extracts data from your domain-specific
Address in the format expected by the ShipEngine API. This implementation is a constructor argument for the
Address\Factory class which will translate your Domain's Address Model to an instance of Address\Address
This formatter is available in the public interface of the jsamhall\ShipEngine instance:
/** @var Acme\Domain\Address $domainAddress */ $domainAddress = $this->addressRepository->find(1234); $shipEngineAddress = $shipEngine->formatAddress($domainAddress); // now $shipEngineAddress can be used for building e.g. an instance of Labels\Shipment
Tracking
Retrieve tracking information for a package using its carrier code and tracking number. This requires the ShipEngine Advanced plan or higher, and the carrier must be connected to your ShipEngine account.
use jsamhall\ShipEngine\ShipEngine; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Address\ArrayFormatter; $shipEngine = new ShipEngine('your_shipengine_api_key', new ArrayFormatter()); $tracking = $shipEngine->trackPackage('usps', '9405511899223197428490'); $tracking->getStatusCode(); // e.g. "DE" (raw ShipEngine code) $tracking->getStatus(); // ?Tracking\StatusCode enum, e.g. StatusCode::Delivered $tracking->getStatusDescription(); // e.g. "Delivered" $tracking->isDelivered(); // bool $tracking->getActualDeliveryDate(); // ?\DateTime foreach ($tracking->getEvents() as $event) { printf("%s — %s (%s)\n", $event->getOccurredAt() ? $event->getOccurredAt()->format('c') : 'n/a', $event->getDescription(), $event->getCityLocality() ); }
The first argument accepts either a carrier code string ("usps", "fedex", "ups") or a
Carriers\CarrierCode value object. If the carrier is not connected to your account the call
throws Exception\ApiErrorResponse.
LTL Tracking
Track a Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight shipment by carrier code and PRO number. This uses
ShipEngine's beta LTL tracking endpoint (v-beta/ltl/tracking).
use jsamhall\ShipEngine\ShipEngine; use jsamhall\ShipEngine\Address\ArrayFormatter; $shipEngine = new ShipEngine('your_shipengine_api_key', new ArrayFormatter()); $tracking = $shipEngine->trackLtlShipment('FXFE', '123456789'); $tracking->getProNumber(); // "123456789" $tracking->isDelivered(); // bool $tracking->getSignatureName(); // ?string, e.g. "MARK PITTS" $tracking->getEstimatedDeliveryDate(); // ?\DateTime $tracking->getActualDeliveryDate(); // ?\DateTime foreach ($tracking->getEvents() as $event) { printf("%s — %s (%s, %s)\n", $event->getOccurredAt()?->format('c') ?? 'n/a', $event->getStatus(), $event->getCityLocality(), $event->getStateProvince() ); }
As with parcel tracking, the first argument accepts a carrier code string or a Carriers\CarrierCode.
