Many consignments' labels as one PDF to print in one go

POST /labels/batch

Many consignments' labels as one PDF to print in one go — a day's bookings, a carrier batch — in the order asked, at most 500 consignments: each stored PDF label's pages (a PNG label as a page of its own) merged server-side and kept under the organization's labels, behind a link signed for fifteen minutes.

A consignment with nothing to merge is listed in skipped with why (no label yet, expired, a ZPL label). Appends nothing: it reads labels already stored and keeps their merge only as a file, keyed by the consignments it holds. No idempotency key: asking again merges again and signs a fresh link.

Access

Requires shipping:read.

How scopes come from roles: Scopes and roles. Getting a token: Authentication and app tokens.

Retries

No idempotency key: asking again merges again and signs a fresh link.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

None. This call records nothing in a journal.

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. one PDF of many labels for a person to send to a printer from the bulk booking screen; an agent prints each parcel's label with fulfillment_print_label

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

Errors

Every refusal is a status and a JSON body whose _tag names it. A refused call changes nothing.

`401`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`Unauthorized` reason	The token is missing, expired or not one Manifold issued.	Get a fresh token and send the call again.
`TokenAlreadyUsed` tokenId	A single-use app token was already spent.	Mint a new token for this call.

`402`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`SubscriptionRequired` status	The organization's subscription has lapsed, so writes are refused.	An owner settles billing. Reads still work meanwhile.

`403`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`TenantRequired` userId	The token names no organization.	Choose the organization, then get a new token.
`ScopeRequired` required	The token's roles do not grant the scope this call needs.	Ask an owner or admin for a role that grants it.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`MirroredFromSource` source	This area is fed by your source system until the organization goes live.	Make the change in the source system, or go live first.

`413`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`LabelTooLarge` limit, size	The file is over the size limit. `limit` gives it in bytes.	Send a smaller file.

`503`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`LabelStoreUnavailable` reason	File storage did not answer, so nothing was stored.	Send the same request again shortly.
`RequestLogUnavailable` tokenId, reason	The service could not record the request, so it did nothing.	Send the same request again shortly.
