USPS - How do I get international shipping rates via the API?

I am trying to get international shipping rate quotes via the USPS API at http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll I have a username and acco开发者_运维百科unt number and can use the API successfully for domestic rate quotes. I can't find the info for international rate quotes though.

The USPS site seems to go nowhere and certainly isn't helping find what I need.

Here is a link the the USPS development Guide PDF. I do not see anything about international shipping. https://www.usps.com/webtools/_pdf/Development-Guide-v3-1.pdf

Do you where I can the info about getting USPS international shipping rate quotes?

There are various API's I think. Looking at the Ecommerce API Technical Guides Website for USPS.COM. I see this Rate Calulator techinical guide:

The call is of the type :

http://production.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll?API=InitRateV2&XML= ...

And there are specs and sample calls there.

this is a sample request:
