USPS Web Tools retired.
Your address + rates layer is ready.
Start with the free proof surface: smart address validation, address extract, ZIP+4 precision, city/state lookup, and rate shopping. Expand into protected label workflows, managed tracking routes, and BYOK as account setup catches up. RevAddress keeps the first proof path free, then expands into protected USPS workflows through one cleaner interface. USPS-approved app: REVASSEROSSHIP.
No card required. Start with the free proof path, then expand into protected workflows when you are ready.

Start with the free USPS proof surface: validation, ZIP+4, and rate shopping. Expand into protected label workflows, BYOK, and managed tracking routes without changing the core API shape or reopening your validation/rates integration.
GET /api/address/validate
?streetAddress=1600+Pennsylvania+Ave
&city=Washington&state=DC {
"streetAddress": "1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE NW", ← corrected
"city": "WASHINGTON",
"state": "DC",
"ZIPCode": "20500",
"ZIPPlus4": "0005", ← +4 resolved
"DPVConfirmation": "Y", ← deliverable
"deliveryPoint": "99",
"business": "N",
"vacant": "N"
} Real response structure. Address standardized, ZIP+4 resolved, delivery point verified, and missing-unit cases handled as guided recovery instead of opaque failure.
Deprecated USPS packages still see meaningful monthly downloads (usps-api, usps-webtools). RevAddress is the modern replacement — one managed USPS layer, OAuth 2.0, and type-safe SDKs.
One offer, three stages
Validate messy addresses, recover missing-unit cases, resolve ZIP+4, and keep USPS precision visible without pushing raw upstream ambiguity onto the user. Protected workflows stay behind plan-gated access, and pickup remains request-access until its own live proof lane closes.
- Address validation + extract
- ZIP+4 + city/state lookup
- Domestic + international rate shopping
- Service standards, shipping options, and locations
Use the free tier to prove the integration with live USPS-backed responses before you commit to protected workflow access. No API key required.
- Tracking route access
- Labels + batch validation
- Dashboard + BYOK
- Pickup request access
Protected workflows unlock after signup and plan/account setup, with public claim depth still gated by route-specific proof.
- Managed throughput
- Enterprise onboarding
- Licensing-dependent workflows
Use account setup and support when label volume, routing depth, or licensing needs exceed the default path.
Why developers switch to RevAddress
USPS retired XML Web Tools. v3 is operationally hostile. Middlemen tax every label. RevAddress removes the ugly parts.
Managed USPS layer
RevAddress handles OAuth, caching, ZIP+4 normalization, and workflow plumbing so your integration can stay focused on business logic instead of USPS operational edge cases.
Flat Monthly Pricing
EasyPost charges $0.08/label. Shippo adds monthly fees plus label costs. Once you move into paid protected workflows, RevAddress stays flat instead of taxing every shipment.
See the full comparison →Usable Throughput
The free tier is for proof. Paid and account-gated workflows add the throughput shaping, batching, and token management needed once USPS traffic becomes operational.

Bring Your Own Keys. Use your USPS Developer Portal credentials with our infrastructure. AES-GCM encrypted. Your data stays yours.
CI-backed coverage. USPS workflow surface.
Not a wrapper around a wrapper. Production-grade Cloudflare Worker with D1, R2, Durable Objects, Queues, and real test coverage.
Drop-in SDKs
Open-source Python and Node.js SDKs. Swap your XML endpoint for REST in one afternoon. Full endpoint mapping and migration guide included.
Read the migration guide →Migrate in three steps
Replace your USPS Web Tools XML integration with a modern USPS-focused REST layer. Most developers are shipping within an hour.
Get your API key
Grab a free API key to prove validation and rate shopping first, or pick a plan when you need protected production workflows.
Swap your endpoint
Replace secure.shippingapis.com with api.revaddress.com. XML becomes JSON. Our endpoint mapping covers the USPS routes most teams actually migrate first.
Ship
Prove validation, ZIP+4, guided recovery, and rate shopping first. Then move into protected label, tracking, and ops workflows with the same API surface.
The real cost of shipping APIs
| Platform | Monthly Base | Per Label | 1,000 Labels/mo | BYOK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EasyPost | $0 | $0.08 | $80/mo | No |
| Shippo | $19 | $0.05 | $69/mo | No |
| USPS native | $0 | $0 | Ops burden | N/A |
| RevAddress | $29 | $0 | $29/mo flat | Yes |
USPS APIs. One expansion path.
Start with free validation, ZIP+4, and rate shopping. Add an API key when you are ready to expand into tracking, protected label workflows, BYOK, and deeper operator control.
