ShipsGo API Integration

The ShipsGo API v1.1 is organized around REST. Based on your HTTP header accept value (application/json, application/xml) our API returns JSON-encoded and XML responses and uses standards HTTP response codes, and verbs. For all methods the content type must be selected as url-encoded.
