[Feature Request] Get parcel templates #73

Closed khacminh closed 2 years ago

khacminh commented 2 years ago

Currently, I cannot get the parcel templates created on my account. A workaround is I have to store them locally and update the template list manually. There is an issue reported on php library since 2016 (and closed). Please put this feature back to live

Hi @jfriedr

Thank you for your update.

I see that there are 3 redundant fields as image below:

jfriedr commented 2 years ago

@khacminh Is it redundant? If the user doesn't have the details saved in their original request then where else would it be displayed? Are you saying it would be in the package details in a rate/shipment request? If I'm missing something please let me know.

In the API document:

distanceUnit is provided as distance_unit
massUnit is provided as weight_unit
id is provided as object_id

In the real response payload, I see that besides the provided fields, these fields were added without being mentioned in the document.
