2. Implementation of service in apiv2



Implementation of changes in apiv2 will require modification in two methods.





2.1. Standard price list for shipments

(https://api.paczkomaty.pl/? do=pricelist)



A new price list will be introduced for the service under the name endOfWeekCollection.


Example:

<paczkomaty>

<on_delivery_payment>minimalny_koszt_pobrania</on_delivery_payment>

<packtype>

<type>shipment_type </type>

<price>shipment_price</price>

</packtype>

<packtype>

<type>shipment_type</type>

<price>shipment_price</price>

</packtype>

<packtype>

<type>shipment_type</type>

<price>shipment_price</price>

</packtype>

<insurance>

<limit>insurance_amount_upper_limit </limit>

<price>insurance_cost </price>

</insurance>

<endOfWeekCollection>

<price>weekend_delivery_price </price>

</endOfWeekCollection>

</paczkomaty>

2.2. Creating shipments

(https://api.paczkomaty.pl/?do=createdeliverypacks)



A new parameter, called endOfWeekCollection, will be introduced:

  • the parameter will be boolean and will accept true/false values
  • true value will mean that the additional service was chosen
  • the attribute will not be required
  • the choice of the service will only be available in the determined time interval described in general information about the service
  • when selecting additional service outside the indicated time interval, an exception will be returned by the application




Example:

<paczkomaty>

<pack>





<id>temporary_pack_id </type>

<error key="invalidEndOfWeekCollection">The selected additional service is beyond

the specified time interval. Time intervals in which the service can be used are described in the terms and conditions.</error>

</pack>

</paczkomaty>




  • when selecting the Customer Service Point as the method of collecting the shipment an exception will be returned. Only parcel_locker_only category machines support Weekend Deliveries


Example:

<paczkomaty>

<pack>





<id> temporary_pack_id</type>

<error key="invalidBoxMachineNameForEndOfWeekCollection">The selected

pick-up point cannot be a Shipment Handling Point.</error>

</pack>

</paczkomaty>



  • in order to download list of machines that does not contain Customer Service Points, the following method should be called along with the category=parcel_locker_only parameter: https://api.paczkomaty.pl/?do=listmachines_xml&category=parcel_locker_only
  • the service is not available for the Allegro shipments. An attempt to create an Allegro shipment with the Weekend Delivery service will result in an exception returned by the application


Example:

<paczkomaty>

<pack>





<id> temporary_pack_id</type>

<error key="invalidAllegroForEndOfWeekCollection">Weekend Delivery Service

is not available for Allegro shipments.</error>

</pack>

</paczkomaty>

Example of creating a shipment:

<paczkomaty>

<autoLabels>automatic_labels</autoLabels>

<selfSend>shipment_in_machine </selfSend>

<pack>

<id> temporary_pack_id</id>

<addresseeEmail>recipient_email_address</addresseeEmail>

<senderEmail>sender_email_address </senderEmail>

<phoneNum>recipient_phone_number </phoneNum>

<boxMachineName>parcel_machine_designation </boxMachineName>

<packType>pack_type </packType>

<endOfWeekCollection>true</endOfWeekCollection>

</pack>

</paczkomaty>
