But I am getting error as below

<Error>
<Number>-2147221102</Number>  
<Source>clsEVS:GetAPIRegistrationInfo</Source>
<Description>MasterMID not found in database.  </Description>

What else I need to pass or what I am missing in this? I had taken the reference from path https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/evs-label-api.htm#_Toc487532684.

Answer 1

According to the PDF documentation you need to contact USPS to get your account configured correctly. Primarily:

• A master Mailer ID is created
  • Child Mailer IDs are created for each origin site and may be created as needed by the requirements of your business units and brands.

Answer 2

It looks like you used the sample MID example provided rather than supplying your actual MID. Does the request succeed when you either 1. remove the MID altogether, or 2. supply your actual MID?
