EasyPostClient

✓ from easypost import EasyPostClient

✗ import easypost; client = easypost.Client('API_KEY')

Create a client and an address.

import easypost client = easypost.Client(os.environ.get('EASYPOST_API_KEY', '')) # Create an address address = client.address.create( street1="417 MONTGOMERY ST", street2="FLOOR 5", city="SAN FRANCISCO", state="CA", zip="94104", country="US", company="EasyPost", phone="415-123-4567" ) print(address)

Debug

Known issues

breakingv10.0.0 drops support for Python 3.7 and 3.8. Also changed the client instantiation pattern; old `import easypost; easypost.api_key = '...'` no longer works. You must use `client = easypost.Client('API_KEY')` or set `easypost.api_key` only for backwards compatibility (deprecated).

fix

Use `import easypost; client = easypost.Client('YOUR_API_KEY')` and pass this client to all service calls.

affects: >=10.0.0

deprecatedSetting `easypost.api_key` globally is deprecated as of v10.0.0. Methods that relied on the global key (e.g., `easypost.Address.create(...)`) will raise errors in future versions.

fix

Use client-based calls such as `client.address.create(...)`.

affects: >=10.0.0

gotchaAll service methods are now called on the client object, not as top-level functions. For example, `easypost.Shipment.create(...)` is wrong; use `client.shipment.create(...)`.

fix

Create a client and use `client.<resource>.<method>(...)`.

affects: >=10.0.0

gotchaRate limiting: EasyPost returns 429 errors when too many requests are made. The library does not automatically retry; you must implement retries with exponential backoff.

fix

Catch `easypost.errors.RateLimitError` and retry after a delay.

affects: all
