Hi, How would I go about finding the total shipping label cost for a given date?  
I saw querying using shipment\_id would give me shipping\_labels {cost} - but what’s the simplest way to get the cost using date or order IDs?  
Thank you!

Hello @Raj!  
There is no single query that replies with the total for a day, but as you stated, you can do it by polling all shipments for a given date and adding the label cost inside each one. Your query should look something like this:

```auto
query{
  shipments(date_from: ISODateTime, date_to: ISODateTime){
    request_id
    complexity
    data(after: string, first: int){
      edges{
        node{
          shipping_labels{
            cost
          }
        }
      }
      pageInfo{
        endCursor
        hasNextPage
      }
    }
  }
}

```

ISODateTime can be:

- YYYY-mm-dd
- YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
- YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS

You can use `pageInfo`, `first`, and `after` to paginate the responses.

If you want to get the label cost for orders, you can do as follows but only a single order at a time:

```auto
query{
  shipments(order_id: string){
    request_id
    complexity
    data(after: string, first: int){
      edges{
        node{
          shipping_labels{
            cost
          }
        }
      }
      pageInfo{
        endCursor
        hasNextPage
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Please let me know if this doesn’t help.  
Kind regards,  
Tomas

Thank you so much Tomas for the two options! I think I’ll try first one and see if that works for me - that will hit the SH servers much lesser times.  
Much appreciated
