Use this endpoint to generate a daily manifest or scan form. Note that some carriers may have up to a 15-minute delay in generating the physical file. If a PDF isn’t returned in the response but the request was successful, wait a few minutes and try a GET request again. Ensure you only include shipment_ids for a single carrier at a time.

Carrier-Specific Notes
DHL
Most carriers will return the manifest instantly, however DHL has an expected manifest creation time of 2-15 minutes.
Due to limitations imposed by DHL, clients needing to retrieve or handle the DHL manifest returned from a manifest creation request (batch) should wait at least 1-2 minutes before performing a GET /api/v2/shipments/batches/{shipments_batch_id} request.
For domestic and international shipments:
Manifests will be split into separate documents.
Example: For 115 shipments, with 41 domestic and 74 international, you will receive two documents, one for the 41 domestic shipments and another for the 74 international shipments.
USPS
USPS will automatically manifest or close out all shipments for a customer at the end of the day, usually around 2:00 AM Central Time.
Attempting to manifest a package that has been manifested by USPS from this automatic closeout process will result in an error.
If you need to provide a manifest document to the driver at pick-up, you must create a same-day manifest before USPS automatically closes it out. This document is also known as a Scan Form.
