Package xpo provides tooling to connect to the XPO Logistics API. This is for truck shipments, not small parcels. Think LTL (less than truckload) shipments. This code was created off the XPO API documentation. The XPO API requires two steps in making the first request per usage. The first request gets a "bearer" token which is used in following requests that actually do something (like scheduling a pickup). Why the API is designed this way, who knows, but it is dumb. The "bearer" token is valid for 12 hours so you can reuse it and thus only have to make one request for future requests (up until 12 hours from the initial request that got the "bearer" token). Currently this package can perform: - pickup requests To create a pickup request: - Set test or production mode (SetProductionMode()). - Set your shipper (Shipper{}) and requestor (Requestor{}) info. - Set shipment details (PkupItem{}). - Request the pickup (RequestPickup()). - Check for any errors.
