Signature Image ERR

Signature Image ERR

Request

This API provides a downloadable link containing the signature image for a specific ERR (Electronic Return Receipt) shipment. This signature image serves as Proof of Delivery (POD).
What is Proof of Delivery (POD)?
Proof of Delivery is a document or file that acts as evidence of successful shipment delivery. This file contains a digital copy of the recipient's signature, provided as a downloadable link or URL.

Key Considerations:

  • It provides the recipient's signature image captured at the time of delivery as proof that the shipment was successfully delivered.
  • The API provides the recipient's signature image as Proof of Delivery (POD) to confirm successful shipment delivery.
  • A request requires the mandatory shipmentId.
  • If a signature is captured by the carrier, the API returns it as a downloadable link of the PDF in the signatureFileURL field.
  • The signatureFileURL provided in the API response expires after 60 minutes.
  • If no signature is available, the API returns an error.
  • Signature Image ERR is supported for USPS carrier only.
