Echo API method

Echo is a simple way to get familiar with using the required parameters and handling the possible error conditions that exist within the APIs.

REST Client

We use Postman, a great free REST client for testing and debugging. This is particularly helpful when working with our calculator as it gives a simple way to send requests to the server.

Helper Libraries

Java Client Library & Examples

Java programmer? We have a Java client library that we actively maintain which is hosted on GitHub. See the GitHub main page for how to get the JAR from a public Maven repository. Also on Github is a Getting Started Guide. Finally, you can see the libraries' Javadoc listing here.

Other (Legacy) libraries

The following are not actively maintained, or maintained by 3rd parties, but might prove useful.

PHP Library & Examples

We have developed example PHP pages that help you get started with Tariff, Price, and Calculate. Download them from GitHub, put your appId and appKey in the PHP page, and you're on your way.

Ruby Library

A third-party client-side Ruby library is available for working with our APIs. This was developed by Matthew Solt. It is available for download or can be installed with gem install genability.
