I would like to get the order invoice using the API

GraphQL API
1

Good morning,

We need to print a detailed invoice for one of our carriers on top of the label. Is there a way to get the invoice .pdf of an order through the API?

The .pdf I would like to get using the API is usually located here: https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/orders/view_invoice/381998322

Thank you

Hey @hansdaigle,

Thanks for reaching out!

I’ll take a closer look at that and get back to you shortly.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns,

Best,
RayanP

Hello @hansdaigle!

Absolutely. You can overwrite the invoice with a custom one.

You can run an order_update mutation to and send the custom_invoice_url. This will change the one that ShipHero automatically generates. You can send a multipage PDF if you need to.

More info here: https://developer.shiphero.com/wp-content/uploads/spectaql/#definition-UpdateOrderInput

If you create the order using the API, you can send that field upon creation.

Ensure you are not sending clean URLs; the PDF extension is required.

Have a nice day!

Hey @tomasfd,

Apologies for the lack of clarity in my previous message. What I’m looking to do is to obtain the binary data of a PDF generated at this link: https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/orders/view_invoice through an API call.

I ended up generating my own invoice. If anyone is interested I can share the code to take any order data (shipment, label request, etc) and produce a .pdf invoice in Python.
