How To Get Tokens (API Keys) from EasyPost and Shippo?

EasyPost

Authentication and identification to the EasyPost API is done by providing an API Key on every request as your Basic Auth username (no password is required). EasyPost requires that all communication with the API is secured using TLS v1.2. Requests made over HTTP or without a proper API Key will fail.
