The International Postapriority service, or international priority mail, allows you to send low-cost communications with the ability to track delivery status. All through the API.

With International Postapriority, you can send letters and documents to one or more recipients (no limits), whether private individuals, companies, or post boxes, all with a single dispatch.

INTERNATIONAL POSTAPRIORITY REQUEST

POST /prioritarie/

To send an International Postapriority, you need to use the same endpoint as for the Italian Postapriority service POST /prioritarie/ and provide information such as:

• sender's name and address
• recipient's name and address
• text

   {
  "data": {
    "sender": {
      "name": "Paolo",
      "surname": "De Carolis",
      "street": "piazza",
      "address": "cavour",
      "house_number": "43",
      "city": "roma",
      "zip_code": "00121",
      "province": "rm",
      "country": "IT",
      "email": "[email protected]",
    },
   "recipients": [
    {
      "name": "string",
      "surname": "string",
      "address": "string",
      "city": "string",
      "province": "ee",
      "country": "string",
      "id": "664228bbbf1239901b0815f2",
      "status": "NEW"
    }
  ],
 "document": [
     "Example document"
    ],
 "options": {
    "double_sided": false,  
    "colors": false,
    "auto_confirm": false,    
  }
}

In this case, the data requested for the recipient are partially different; the fields street (e.g., viale) and house number must be entered directly in the address field, and the province will always be "ee".

During the request, you can also select a number of options:

• single-sided / double-sided
• colors
• schedule sending (timestamp_sending)
• sending receipt

It is also possible to set up auto-confirm (auto_confirm) and thus send the shipment automatically (if the value is set to "true"). In this case, the cost of the shipment will be charged immediately and the sending scheduled.

For the Postapriority International service, it is also possible to fully customize even the cover of the communication by inserting, for example, logos and company information or promotions. Customization can be done via API or via Playground, which also allows for a preview before mailing.

The service also includes free of charge a 12-month digital archiving option of the content signed and digitally marked by Poste Italiane. Digital archiving in accordance with the law certifies the content, which cannot be disallowed by the other party in any legal dispute.

If you wish to verify the shipment data and associated costs before sending, auto_confirm should be set to false.
