Returns the saved address with any verification results. - Action **Add batch** Creates a batch of shipments in EasyPost, so they can be bought, labelled, manifested or picked up together. A batch can also be created empty and shipments added later. - Action **Add pickup** Creates a pickup request for a purchased shipment and returns the available pickup rates, which must then be bought to schedule the pickup. - Action **Add refund** Requests refunds for one or more purchased shipping labels by carrier and tracking code, and returns the resulting refund records. - Action **Add shipment** Creates a shipment from a destination address, an origin address and a parcel, and returns the shipment with its available shipping rates. - Action **Add tracker** Creates a tracker for a package tracking code (for labels bought outside EasyPost) and returns its current tracking status and history. - Action **Buy shipment** Purchases a shipping label for an existing shipment using the selected rate, returning the tracking code and postage label. - Action **Get address** Returns an address saved in EasyPost by its ID, including its verification results. - Action **Get batch** Returns a batch of shipments, including its state, shipment statuses, consolidated label and scan form. - Action **Get pickup** Returns a scheduled carrier pickup, including its status, confirmation number, address and available pickup rates. - Action **Get shipment** Returns a shipment, including its addresses, parcel, rates, label and tracking details. - Action **Convert CII XML to Factur-X** Converts a CII XML invoice into a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3 with the XML embedded. The API generates a visual PDF rendering of the invoice and packages it with the source CII XML. - Action **Convert Factur-X PDF to CII** Extracts the embedded CII (UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice) XML from a Factur-X PDF and returns it as a standalone XML file. - Action **Convert Factur-X PDF to UBL** Extracts the embedded CII XML from a Factur-X PDF and converts it to UBL (Universal Business Language) XML. - Action **Convert UBL XML to Factur-X** Converts a UBL XML invoice into a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3. The API maps UBL to CII, generates a visual PDF rendering, and embeds the CII XML in the PDF/A-3 container. - Action **Create Factur-X Invoice** Builds a Factur-X invoice from structured header, party, payment, and line-item data, then returns a ready-to-deliver PDF/A-3b file. - Action **Embed XML Into PDF (Factur-X)** Takes a PDF and a CII XML and produces a Factur-X compliant PDF/A-3 with the XML attached as factur-x.xml. Use this when you already have both the visual PDF and the structured XML of an invoice and just need the hybrid wrapper. - Action **Extract Invoice JSON** Pulls invoice fields from a PDF into structured JSON, preferring embedded Factur-X XML when present and falling back to intelligent extraction when not. - Action **Extract Invoice XML** Retrieves machine-readable invoice XML from a PDF, returning embedded Factur-X XML directly or generating compliant XML when none is embedded. - Action **Render CII as PDF** Renders a CII (UN/CEFACT Cross Industry Invoice) XML document into a human-readable PDF. The output is a visual PDF, not a Factur-X hybrid file. - Action **Validate Factur-X Invoice** Checks whether a Factur-X invoice is structurally and semantically valid, including schema status, conformance level, and rule-level issues. ## Each app on its own - [ **EasyPost** EasyPost provides a simple postage API that allows developers to quickly and painlessly integrate shipping...](https://apiant.ai/connections/easypost) - [ **Factur-X by InvoiceXML** Factur-X by InvoiceXML is an e-invoice automation: create, transform, validate, and extract Factur-X PDFs...](https://apiant.ai/connections/factur-x-by-invoicexml) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from EasyPost - [ **EasyPost to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/easypost-to-hubspot) - [ **EasyPost to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/easypost-to-salesforce) - [ **EasyPost to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.
