INTERNATIONAL POSTAPRIORITY SENDING REQUEST

POST /prioritarie/

To send an International Postapriority, you need to use the same endpoint as for the Italian Postapriority service POST /prioritarie/ and provide information such as:

  • sender's name and address
  • recipient's name and address
  • text
   {
  "data": {
    "sender": {
      "name": "Paolo",
      "surname": "De Carolis",
      "street": "piazza",
      "address": "cavour",
      "house_number": "43",
      "city": "roma",
      "zip_code": "00121",
      "province": "rm",
      "country": "IT",
      "email": "[email protected]",
    },
   "recipients": [
    {
      "name": "string",
      "surname": "string",
      "address": "string",
      "city": "string",
      "province": "ee",
      "country": "string",
      "id": "664228bbbf1239901b0815f2",
      "status": "NEW"
    }
  ],
 "document": [
     "Example document"
    ],
 "options": {
    "double_sided": false,  
    "colors": false,
    "auto_confirm": false,    
  }
}

In this case, the data requested for the recipient are partially different; the fields street (e.g., viale) and house number must be entered directly in the address field, and the province will always be "ee".

During the request, you can also select a number of options:

  • single-sided / double-sided
  • colors
  • schedule sending (timestamp_sending)
  • sending receipt

It is also possible to set up auto-confirm (auto_confirm) and thus send the shipment automatically (if the value is set to "true"). In this case, the cost of the shipment will be charged immediately and the sending scheduled.

If you wish to verify the shipment data and associated costs before sending, auto_confirm should be set to false.
