Sendle

RETIRED — Sendle ceased operations on 11 January 2026 and the company entered liquidation; the API host, developer hub, sandbox and status page have all been withdrawn from DNS and returned NXDOMAIN when probed on 26 August 2026. Sendle was a 100%-carbon-neutral parcel shipping service built for small businesses, offering door-to-door delivery in Australia, the United States and Canada plus international shipping from AU and US to ~180 countries. Its API exposed quoting, order creation, label retrieval, tracking, USPS SCAN-Form shipping manifests and per-parcel tracking webhooks over HTTP Basic Authentication, with an Idempotency-Key header on order creation. The five OpenAPI definitions in this repository are retained as an archival record of a contract that can no longer be called.

Sendle publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Orders API, Products & Quoting API, Tracking API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Shipping, Logistics, Last Mile Delivery, Parcel, and E-Commerce.

The Sendle catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Sendle’s developer surface includes authentication, GitHub presence, support, and 18 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.23.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/sendle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
