Rates API to retrieve estimates across the US

We are currently working on integrating Easyship's services into our new e-commerce platform. I am reaching out to inquire about the implementation of the Rates API to retrieve shipping rates and delivery times across the United States.

Our goal is to provide our users with accurate shipping estimates that include both the minimum and maximum price, as well as the minimum and maximum delivery days for shipments within the US. We believe that the Rates API would be the ideal solution for this purpose.

Specifically, we would like to know:

  1. How to structure the API request to retrieve both the minimum and maximum shipping rates, along with the corresponding minimum and maximum delivery days for shipments within the US.
  2. In the event that we implement pagination, what should be the request body format for fetching subsequent pages of results? We want to ensure that we can efficiently navigate through the available shipping options.

Additionally, it would be immensely helpful if you could provide us with a Postman collection that demonstrates the usage of the Estimation Rates API. Having access to a reference collection would greatly facilitate our integration efforts and ensure that we follow best practices.

We greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. Please let us know if there are any specific requirements or considerations we should be aware of when implementing the Estimation Rates API.

Thank you for your time and support.
