# CarrierAccount

A `CarrierAccount` encapsulates your credentials with the carrier.
The `CarrierAccount` object provides CRUD operations for all `CarrierAccounts`.

Each EasyPost account is automatically provided a USPS account managed by EasyPost.

Other operations, such as `Shipment` creation, can reference `CarrierAccounts` to reduce the scope of data returned.
For instance, you may have multiple warehouses that need to use distinct FedEx SmartPost credentials to request the correct rates.

`Rate` objects will include a `carrier_account_id` field which can be used to determine the
account used for rating.

| clone | boolean | If true, only the reference and description are possible to update |
| description | string | An optional, user-readable field to help distinguish accounts |
| reference | string | An optional field that may be used in place of carrier_account_id in other API endpoints |
| readable | string | The name used when displaying a readable value for the type of the account |
| credentials | object | Unlike the credentials object contained in fields , this nullable object contains just raw credential pairs for client library consumption. |
| test_credentials | object | Unlike the test_credentials object contained in fields , this nullable object contains just raw test_credential pairs for client library consumption. |
| billing_type | string | Billing type of the carrier account |
| created_at | datetime | When the CarrierAccount was created |

`CarrierAccount` objects may be managed through the EasyPost API using the Production API Key only. Multiple accounts can be added for a single carrier.

The CarrierType of the preferred `CarrierAccount` should be consulted before attempting to create a new `CarrierAccount`, as it will inform you of the field names expected by a certain carrier.
Some carriers may have a `custom_workflow` field set to `true`.
These carriers cannot be created with the traditional flow listed below and instead have a special steps that must be followed.
Please see Adding Carriers With Custom Workflows for more details on these carriers.

            var client = new EasyPost.Client(new EasyPost.ClientConfiguration("EASYPOST_API_KEY"));

            EasyPost.Models.API.CarrierAccount carrierAccount = await client.CarrierAccount.Retrieve("ca_...");

            Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(carrierAccount, Formatting.Indented));
        }
    }
}
```

#### Node.js

```javascript
const EasyPostClient = require('@easypost/api');

const client = new EasyPostClient('EASYPOST_API_KEY');

(async () => {
  const carrierAccount = await client.CarrierAccount.retrieve('ca_...');

  console.log(carrierAccount);
})();
```

#### PHP

```php
<?php

$client = new \EasyPost\EasyPostClient('EASYPOST_API_KEY');

$carrierAccount = $client->carrierAccount->retrieve('ca_...');

echo $carrierAccount;
```

#### Python

```python
import easypost

client = easypost.EasyPostClient("EASYPOST_API_KEY")

carrier_account = client.carrier_account.retrieve("ca_...")

print(carrier_account)
```

#### Ruby

```ruby
require 'easypost'

client = EasyPost::Client.new(api_key: 'EASYPOST_API_KEY')

carrier_account = client.carrier_account.retrieve('ca_...')

puts carrier_account
```

Retrieve a `CarrierAccount` by its `id` or `reference`. It is recommended to use EasyPost's provided identifiers because we do not enforce a unique `reference`.

## Update a CarrierAccount

### Example: PATCH /carrier_accounts/:id

#### cURL

```shell
curl -X PATCH https://api.easypost.com/v2/carrier_accounts/ca_... \
  -u "EASYPOST_API_KEY": \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "carrier_account": {
      "description": "FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account",
      "credentials": {
        "pickup_id": "abc123",
      }
    }
  }'
```

#### Go

```go
package example

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/EasyPost/easypost-go/v5"
)

func update() {
	client := easypost.New("EASYPOST_API_KEY")

	carrierAccount, _ := client.UpdateCarrierAccount(
		&easypost.CarrierAccount{
			ID:          "ca_...",
			Description: "FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account",
			Credentials: map[string]string{
				"pickup_id": "abc123",
			},
		},
	)

	// For UPS account update, please use below method instead

	updateParameters := &easypost.UpsCarrierAccountUpdateParameters{
		AccountNumber: "987654321",
	}

	carrierAccount, _ = client.UpdateUpsCarrierAccount(carrierAccount.ID, updateParameters)

	fmt.Println(carrierAccount)
}
```

#### Java

```java
package carrier_accounts;

import com.easypost.exception.EasyPostException;

        HashMap<String, Object> credentials = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        credentials.put("pickup_id", "abc123");

        HashMap<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        params.put("description", "FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account");
        params.put("credentials", credentials);

        CarrierAccount carrierAccount = client.carrierAccount.update("ca_...", params);

        System.out.println(carrierAccount);
    }

    description: 'FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account',
    credentials: { pickup_id: 'abc123' },
  });

  console.log(CarrierAccount);
})();
```

#### PHP

```php
<?php

$carrierAccount = $client->carrierAccount->update(
    'ca_...',
    [
        'description' => 'FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account',
        'credentials' => [
            'pickup_id' => 'abc123',
        ]
    ]
);

echo $carrierAccount;
```

#### Python

```python
import easypost

client = easypost.EasyPostClient("EASYPOST_API_KEY")

updated_carrier_account = client.carrier_account.update(
    "ca_...",
    description="FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account",
    credentials={"pickup_id": "abc123"},
)

print(updated_carrier_account)
```

#### Ruby

```ruby
require 'easypost'

client = EasyPost::Client.new(api_key: 'EASYPOST_API_KEY')

carrier_account = client.carrier_account.update(
  'ca_...',
  description: 'FL Location DHL eCommerce Solutions Account',
)

puts carrier_account
```

Updates can be made to `description`, `reference`, and any `fields` in `credentials` or `test_credentials`.

The `CarrierType` of the `CarrierAccount` should be consulted before attempting to updating an existing `CarrierAccount`, as it will inform you of the field names expected by a certain carrier.
An update request for a `CarrierAccount` is a partial update; only attributes specifically passed in will be altered.
