Popular USPS and Python Actions#
Write Python and use any of the 350k+ PyPi packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Python docs to learn more.
Overview of USPS#
The USPS API provides various functionalities such as tracking shipments, calculating shipping prices, and scheduling pickups, making it a valuable tool for automating logistics and e-commerce operations. Integrating the USPS API with Pipedream allows you to create serverless workflows that can enhance how you manage shipping tasks, alert systems, or update order statuses in real-time, without needing to manage infrastructure.
Connect USPS#
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
usps: {
type: "app",
app: "usps",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll?API=Verify`,
params: {
XML: `<AddressValidateRequest USERID="${this.usps.$auth.username}"><Revision>1</Revision>
<Address ID="{your_address_id}">
<Address1>{your_address_1}</Address1>
<Address2>{your_address_2}</Address2>
<City/>
<State>{your_state}</State>
<Zip5>{your_zip5}</Zip5>
<Zip4/>
</Address>
</AddressValidateRequest>`,
},
})
},
})
Overview of Python#
Develop, run and deploy your Python code in Pipedream workflows. Integrate seamlessly between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and manipulate files within a workflow.
This includes installing PyPI packages, within your code without having to manage a requirements.txt file or running pip.
Below is an example of using Python to access data from the trigger of the workflow, and sharing it with subsequent workflow steps:
Connect Python#
def handler(pd: "pipedream"):
# Reference data from previous steps
print(pd.steps["trigger"]["context"]["id"])
# Return data for use in future steps
return {"foo": {"test":True}}
