The account's app stores the label it booked

POST /carrier-accounts/{carrierAccountId}/consignments/{consignmentId}/label

The account's app stores the label it booked: the body is the raw file — not multipart, not JSON — application/pdf, image/png or application/zpl in Content-Type, every carton's label in one document, at most 10 MiB (413 LabelTooLarge), streamed into the private bucket and kept 90 days.

reference in the query string keys the request log. Appends fulfillment.consignment-labelled. Idempotent by state: a consignment keeps one label, so a retry is answered with it and stores nothing.

Access

Requires shipping:write.

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

Retries

Idempotent by state: a consignment keeps one label, so a retry is answered with it and stores nothing.

Why every write carries a key: Idempotency and retries.

Facts appended

fulfillment.consignment-labelled

What a fact is: Facts and the journal.

AI agent tool

No agent tool. a raw file only a shipping app stores, for the consignment it booked; a person prints it with fulfillment_print_label

Connecting an agent: AI agents.

Example

The label's bytes are the request body, sent as Content-Type: application/pdf.

The panel writes this call in other languages. It does not send it: Manifold's APIs do not take calls from a web page on another site, so run the call from your own code or terminal. The whole API as OpenAPI: fulfillment-manager.openapi.json. Base URL https://fulfillment.getmanifold.io.

Errors

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

`400`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`LabelUnreadable` reason	The file is not a PDF, PNG or ZPL document.	Send the file with its own `Content-Type`.

`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
`NotACarrierApp` reason	Only a carrier app may call this.	Call it with the carrier app's token.
`CarrierAccountNotYours` carrierAccountId	This carrier account belongs to another app.	Call it with the app that keeps the account.
`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.

`404`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`CarrierAccountNotFound` carrierAccountId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.
`FulfillmentOrderNotFound` orderId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.
`ConsignmentNotFound` consignmentId	No such record in this organization.	Check the id in the path or the body.

`409`

Refusal	What it means	What to do
`ConsignmentNotInState` consignmentId, status, expected	The booking is not in a state this call accepts.	Read the record: its `status` says where it stands, and `expected` the states this call accepts.
`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.

How refusals work everywhere: Errors.
