Report

A Report contains a CSV that is a log of all the objects created within a certain time frame.

Reports can be generated using the Reports endpoint. You can create and view Reports created between any time frame defined between the start_date and end_date.

The Report API can be categorized into several types. These types determine which EasyPost Object to produce a Report for, and should be passed as either the type in our client libraries or at the end of the URL.

Report Types

  • cash_flow
  • insurance
  • payment_log
  • refund
  • shipment
  • shipment_invoice
  • tracker

Create a Report

To create a Report, provide a start_date and end_date that are less than 31 days apart along with any other optional parameter that you would like to specify. A detailed list of attributes are provided below.

The expiry on a URL is 30 seconds. The default status on each new Report is "new". It changes to "available" if the CSV file is created successfully or to "failed" when CSV creation is unsuccessful, or to "empty" if the report does not include any data for the specified date range. Additionally, null could also be a status.

When a Report's status changes, a webhook will be fired. See our Webhooks Guide for help on Event handling.

A Report object is immutable once created. All information must be provided during creation; it cannot be modified later.
