    Open source documentation for USPS Web Tools API

    We crafted a USPS Web Tools OpenAPI 3.0 specification from the PDF docs, then used the spec to generate modern USPS Web Tools API documentation with Redoc and host them on Netlify. Many companies offer an interactive API explorer as part of their documentation; we thought a good solution was a USPS Web Tools public workspace with Postman.

  • postman-app-support

    Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

    We have experience working with Postman public workspaces as Lob launched one last summer. A workspace is a group of collections and each collection can contain one or more requests. Currently, we have address validation, domestic mail service, and track & confirm collections. You can fork the collection and the environment in order to set your Web Tools username and start exploring APIs.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • redoc

    📘 OpenAPI/Swagger-generated API Reference Documentation

    Redoc is an open-source tool for generating documentation from OpenAPI (fka Swagger) definitions. There is a paid service with more features called Redocly, but for this project we are utilizing the open source redoc-cli tool.
