It lets you create shipment objects with origin and destination addresses plus package dimensions, retrieve available shipping rates from different carriers, and purchase labels programmatically\u2014all through a single client interface. The library handles HTTP communication via requests and provides hooks for monitoring request and response lifecycle events.\n\nThe package is production-stable (Development Status 5), actively maintained, and tested against Python 3.9 through 3.13. It's designed for developers building shipping workflows into applications\u2014from e-commerce platforms to logistics management tools\u2014who need to avoid building their own carrier integrations. The API is straightforward: instantiate a client with your credentials, call methods on shipment/address/parcel objects, and work with the returned data structures.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is production-stable, actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a real integration problem for anyone building shipping functionality. No known vulnerabilities. Install if you need to integrate EasyPost's shipping API into a Python application."},"id":"easypost","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easypost","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/easypost.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/easypost/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"easypost","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"EasyPost Shipping API Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":220717,"position":9293,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"10.7.0"}
