Rate Multiple Shipments
Info
Rate a Single Shipment
If you need to just rate a single shipment, see the Get Shipping Rates Quickstart.
With ShipEngine you're able to process multiple shipments rates at the same time. Unlike in the Get Shipping Rates section, this process is asynchronous. If you subscribe to Web Hooks you will receive a notification when the batch is complete.
Additionally, as your shipments are rated, you can Retrieve Shipment Rates for your shipment manually.

As we've done before in other examples, we have truncated the response to only show a single rate. When you run this command, you will notice that there are many more rates that exist.
