shippo + paypal integration for tracking number

Andrew thanks for the quick reply.  Is this a limitation on zapier integration or does PayPal not allow that through their APIs?  I’ve found some documentation but just surprised this automation hasn’t been done yet.

Troy thanks for that.  I reread my post and totally didn’t mean it in that negative tone toward Zapier.  So I guess the question is: is the limitation with API support from Shippo/PayPal or maybe a feature enhancement from the app developer within Zapier.

thanks!!

@Troy Tessalone I went ahead and took your advice and started my own Zap and attempted to use.a webhook to pull the data I needed.  Come to find out Custom Request within webhook only support basic auth.  The API I’m using requires oAuth.  So I began writing a private app to accomplish my needs.

I’m now running into another issue.  When I’m creating the app and under Action/API Configuration I input all of my settings and run a ‘Test You Request’ I get a Request Failed message regardless if I use Form Mode or Code Mode.  I know my command is correct as I’ve tested this with Postman.  The error is the exact error if I change my request in Postman to a GET instead of a POST.  My question is why is Zapier App sending my API request as a GET when I specifically called out a POST?

Any thoughts here?

To add to this.  I just tested a GET command that works and got it to work with the editor.  I then changed the method to POST within the editor and the request was still successful.  

I believe the method change within the editor is not working correctly.  Could we get someone to look into this to confirm for me?

@Troy Tessalone Thanks I have done that and am working with the dev team.

With that said for the web hooks authentication how do you use web hooks with APIs that require oAuth? Basic Auth doesn’t seem to work for this customer.  Have you run into this?

Thanks!
