  The United States Postal Service (USPS) provides a modern suite of RESTful
  APIs for address validation, domestic and international pricing, shipping
  label creation and cancellation, tracking, and service standards through its
  developer portal. The APIs replace the legacy Web Tools platform and use
  OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials for authentication. The platform supports both
  production and TEM (Testing Environment for Mailers) endpoints for
  developing and validating shipping integrations.
