CarrierType
The CarrierType
object provides an interface for determining the valid fields of a CarrierAccount
.
The list of CarrierType
objects only changes when a new carrier is added to EasyPost.
The CarrierType
objects consist of their top level attributes as well as a Fields
object that contains credentials
and sometimes test_credentials
sub-objects, which themselves are collections of attributes for CarrierAccounts
creation, as well as metadata about presentation and the naming of said attributes.
There are a couple special case CarrierAccounts
, with structures differing somewhat from the norm.
For instance, instead of credentials for a "UspsAccount", it has only auto_link: true
, which indicates that it is an account that can be added or removed without any carrier-specific fields.
