I am trying to clarify the question. Are you expecting to see the same list all the time?

What version of Abantecart do you have?

I think this is related to the session used in the API. API and requests should be stateless and you will need to provide a full request every time.
What you experience with Android is correct behavior.

We will disable session in the API for version 1.2.17.
I have create an issue here: https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/issues/1435
Feel free to add to it if you have any other suggestions.

no, from android app , (as i already know the shipping methods) i dont need to access list with mode =List
so i want to use "mode= Select" Command(that selects shipping Method)
but Mode=Select Command returns list of shipping Method options
its actual output must be
{
    "status": 1,
    "shipping_select": "success"
}


in postman it returns this output on when i Run this command 2nd time .

if (!isset($this->session->data[ 'shipping_methods' ]) || !$this->config->get('config_shipping_session')) {
         $quote_data = array();

         $results = $this->model_checkout_extension->getExtensions('shipping');
         foreach ($results as $result) {
            $this->loadModel('extension/' . $result[ 'key' ]);

            $quote = $this->{'model_extension_' . $result[ 'key' ]}->getQuote($shipping_address);

            if ($quote) {
               $quote_data[ $result[ 'key' ] ] = array(
                  'title' => $quote[ 'title' ],
                  'quote' => $quote[ 'quote' ],
                  'sort_order' => $quote[ 'sort_order' ],
                  'error' => $quote[ 'error' ]
               );
            }
         }

         $sort_order = array();

         foreach ($quote_data as $key => $value) {
            $sort_order[ $key ] = $value[ 'sort_order' ];
         }

         array_multisort($sort_order, SORT_ASC, $quote_data);

         $this->session->data[ 'shipping_methods' ] = $quote_data;
      }


this function from API print List of shipping methods when condition is true

!$this->config->get('config_shipping_session'))

config_shipping_session is used to be for optimize number of request to shipping providers and minimize re-qoute requests.
This will not be helpful in API case as session can not be used.

ok admin , i will

for above problems i drop the idea of executing shipping selection command directly. instead i executed mode =list the select command.
this solved my problem. now im able to select shipping method.
