Overview
This node provides integration with Shipmonk, a logistics and fulfillment service. It is designed to facilitate interactions with Shipmonk's API, allowing users to automate tasks such as order management, inventory tracking, and shipment processing within n8n workflows. 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.
Use Case Examples
- Automate order creation and tracking by sending batch requests to Shipmonk's API.
- Monitor inventory levels by periodically querying Shipmonk and triggering alerts when stock is low.
- Route API requests through a proxy server for compliance with network policies.

Output
JSON
responseData- The JSON response data returned from Shipmonk API calls.
Dependencies
- Requires Shipmonk API credentials for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure valid Shipmonk API credentials are provided to avoid authentication errors.
- If SSL validation errors occur, consider enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security risks.
- Batching settings should be configured carefully to avoid hitting API rate limits or causing delays.
- Proxy settings must be correctly formatted; incorrect proxy URLs can cause connection failures.
- Timeout should be set according to expected response times; too short may cause premature request abortion.
