  title: Shipping Rules [BETA]
  version: 3.0.0
  description: >-
    The Sendcloud Shipping Rules API lets you automate how shipments are
    handled. A shipping rule applies one or more actions to a shipment whenever
    the shipment matches the rule's conditions, so you can set shipping methods,
    add insurance, or update other properties without manual work.

        OAuth2 is a standardized protocol for authorization that allows users to

        Grant workflow. This workflow is typically used for server-to-server
        interactions that require authorization to access specific resources.
