Overview
This node provides integration with Shipbob, a logistics and fulfillment service. It is designed to facilitate operations related to Shipbob within n8n workflows, such as managing shipments, inventory, or orders. The node supports batching of requests to handle large data sets efficiently, proxy configuration for network routing, SSL certificate validation control, and request timeout settings. This makes it useful for automating and streamlining logistics processes that involve Shipbob's API.
Use Case Examples
- Automate order fulfillment by sending batch requests to Shipbob to create shipments.
- Monitor inventory levels by periodically querying Shipbob's API with configured timeout and proxy settings.
- Handle large datasets by splitting input into batches to avoid API rate limits.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Request Options | Settings to control how requests to Shipbob API are made, including batching, SSL validation, proxy, and timeout. |
Output
JSON
data- The JSON response data returned from Shipbob API after executing the requested operation.
Dependencies
- Requires Shipbob API credentials for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- If requests fail due to SSL errors, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass certificate validation (not recommended for production).
- Batching settings with very small batch sizes or zero interval may cause performance issues or API rate limiting.
- Incorrect proxy settings can cause connection failures; verify proxy URL and credentials if used.
- Timeouts may occur if the server is slow or network is unstable; increase timeout value if necessary.
