It's not the RESTfull API from 2012, it is the XML API. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

I understand it is not the VentureOne id. But there is no merchant id documented in Canada Post. I had assumed it is the development or production API keys which are provided by Canada Post. I have tried both REST API keys to no avail. I noticed in this forum a reference to Canada Post now using XML APIs. I have checked the Canada Post developer site for any reference to an XML API and have come up with nothing. What am I missing? My thanks, in advance for your support.
