Get Rates

This method is used to check pricing for parcel orders from all allowed providers. The method also automatically creates an order that isn't visible from the dashboard

The request accepts an optional carrier query param if preferred, it can be used like: https://system.deftship.com/api/parcel-orders/get-rates?carrier=ups. Selecting a specific carrier can significantly reduce the response time for rates.

Please note that this end-point has rate-limiting, therefore, it will only allow 60 requests per minute.
