# Claisy API Live

The Claisy API creates and manages shipping parcels, supporting single parcels, bulk creation, and CSV import, and lists or deletes parcels by identifier. It also calculates a shipping quotation before a parcel is dispatched. Agents can prepare shipments and price them without working inside the Claisy dashboard.

## For AI agents

Create, list, and delete Claisy shipping parcels, import them in bulk from CSV, and calculate a shipping quotation. Returns parcel records and quotations for an agent to act on.

## Scope

Does not handle carrier label printing, live tracking, or returns. Use for creating, listing, and quoting shipping parcels only.

## Capabilities

- Create a shipping parcel
- Create parcels in bulk or import them from a CSV file
- List existing parcels on the account
- Delete a parcel by its identifier
- Calculate a shipping quotation

## Use cases

### Agent-Driven Shipment Creation

An AI agent turns an order into a shipment by calculating a quotation and then creating the parcel in Claisy. It can price the shipment first, confirm the cost, and file the parcel in one flow. This removes the manual dashboard steps between an order and a ready-to-ship parcel.

Example prompt: Calculate a shipping quotation for an order, then create the parcel in Claisy once the cost is confirmed

### Bulk Parcel Import

Teams create many parcels at once by importing a CSV file or posting a batch, rather than entering each shipment by hand. The API accepts bulk parcel creation and a CSV import operation. This suits a daily run that files all of the day's shipments in a single pass.

Example prompt: Import a CSV of the day's shipments into Claisy as parcels and confirm each was created

### Shipping Quotation Lookup

An agent prices a shipment by calculating a quotation before committing to create the parcel. The quotation operation returns the shipping cost for the parcel details supplied. This lets an agent compare or confirm pricing as part of an order workflow.

Example prompt: Calculate a shipping quotation for a set of parcel details and return the quoted cost

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Claisy API by hand means provisioning a key, learning the parcel record shape, and building the create, bulk, CSV, and quotation calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Claisy from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent creates parcels and calculates quotations.
- **Permission scoping:** A Jentic rule scopes your agent by operation, so it can calculate quotations and create parcels while the delete operation stays withheld. The parcel identifier in the delete path lets removal be bounded as well, and every call the agent makes is logged.
- **Credential handling:** Your Claisy API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'calculate a shipping quotation' or 'create a parcel', and Jentic returns the matching Claisy operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Claisy API use?

The Claisy API authenticates with an API key sent in the api-key request header per its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic the key is held encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and attached at call time, so it never reaches the agent's context.

### Can I import parcels in bulk with the Claisy API?

Yes. The API accepts a batch parcel creation and a CSV import operation, so an agent can file many shipments in a single run. It can list the parcels afterward to confirm they were created.

### What are the rate limits for the Claisy API?

The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits. Check the Claisy documentation at https://www.claisy.com for current limits and usage guidance.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Claisy API?

Yes. A rule can scope your agent by operation, allowing it to calculate quotations and create parcels while withholding the delete operation, and the parcel identifier in the delete path means removal can be bounded too. Every call the agent makes is logged.

### How do I create a Claisy shipment through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'calculate a shipping quotation' or 'create a parcel', add the Claisy API from the directory, and store your key once. Your agent then prices the shipment and creates the parcel. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.

### Is there a Claisy MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Claisy API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your key once, and your agent creates parcels and calculates quotations. Operations are discovered on demand, so no extra server's tool definitions sit in the agent's context.
