Answer 1

This is just a guess, but your error message says "InitRateV2 is not a valid API name for this protocol."

Looking at the XML you're sending the root tag is <IntlRateV2Request USERID="xxxxxxxxxxx">.

It might be a typo in your code. Have you tried:

`http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll?API=IntlRateV2&XML=`?

In other words, Intl, not Init.
