📬 What’s new? A Compatibility Endpoint that maps Shipping Method IDs to Shipping Option Codes
When announcing a parcel with API v2, you use a shipping method ID. In API v3, that changes - you now need to use a shipping option code instead.
To make this transition easier, we’ve introduced a new endpoint that automatically maps your existing shipping method IDs to the correct shipping option codes.
💡
Why it matters
Without this endpoint, you'd need to manually match your v2 shipping methods to v3 shipping options - and with over 8,000 shipping method IDs in Sendcloud, that’s a lot of work and room for error.
This new endpoint does the heavy lifting for you, so you can migrate faster, with less guesswork.
🚀 How to use it
Just make a call to:
https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3/compat/shipping-options
This returns the matching shipping option code for any shipping method ID you provide.

ℹ️ Good to know
API v3 gives you access to our latest features, including:
- 📝 Notes on shipping labels
- 📦 Full multicollo support
- 🚀 A single call to announce a shipment and get the label
If you’re still on API v2, you’re missing out, now’s the perfect time to migrate.
