Tracker create_list() function keeps retuning a 403 about easypost-python HOT 7 CLOSED

In Postman, you could use a raw JSON body like the following which works as intended:

curl -X POST https://api.easypost.com/v2/trackers/create_list \
  -u "API_KEY:" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"trackers":{
    "0":{"tracking_code":"EZ1000000001", "carrier":"USPS"},
    "1":{"tracking_code":"EZ1000000001", "carrier":"USPS"},
    "2":{"tracking_code":"EZ1000000001", "carrier":"USPS"},
    "3":{"tracking_code":"EZ1000000001", "carrier":"USPS"}
  }}'

There is a bug here where the API key is getting the tracking code as a value so the request fails because the tracking code getting passed isn't a valid API key. We'll need to patch this.

Hey @jmnmv12 thanks for reporting this! Are you able to provide a little snippet of code and/or a couple tracking numbers so we could try recreating this on our end? Most likely this isn't an API key issue but something wrong in the code either in the client library or API.

Hey, yeah of course you can recreate it by running this snippet:

easypost.api_key = "MY_API_KEY"
tracker_list = [
    {
        "tracking_code": "EZ1000000001",
        "carrier": "USPS"
    }
]
easypost.Tracker.create_list(tracker_list)

I used one of your test tracking codes in this case.

I tried to do the same request through Postman and there I don't receive this error, but because I don't know what is the expected request body, I end up receiving a 500 Internal Server Error. Do you know where I should look to understand what type of request you are expecting on this endpoint? I took a look at your documentation but I couldn't find anything about this.

Okay thank you for the help 👌

@jmnmv12 I would highly recommend most of our users stick to using our publicly documented endpoint for creating individual trackers https://www.easypost.com/docs/api#create-a-tracker.

Even if you have a high volume of trackers to create, this endpoint should be able to handle high request volume. Feel free to hit up [email protected] if you have any problems.

This should have been corrected and will be included in v7.0.0; however, I'd also recommend what @LoganSimonsen suggested and use our normal trackers endpoint as it's more stable than creating trackers in bulk.
