Call the Cutwise API with cURL, Python or JavaScript
The API uses the same solver-v1 request and result model as the browser calculator. Keep API keys on the server, set an explicit timeout and do not automatically retry an uncertain solve response.

A server may have completed a solve even if the client loses the response. Treat timeouts and connection loss as an uncertain outcome; inspect account activity and retain X-Request-Id for support instead of blindly resubmitting.
