Interact with Shippo API

Actions68

Overview

This node integrates with the Shippo API to create a batch of shipments. It is useful for users who want to process multiple shipping labels or parcels in one grouped request, streamlining bulk shipment workflows. For example, an e-commerce business can use this node to generate shipping batches for all orders processed in a day, reducing manual effort and API calls.

Properties

Name Meaning
SHIPPO API VERSION Optional string to specify a non-default Shippo API version to use for the request. Useful for accessing newer or legacy API features.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the created batch object as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes details such as batch ID, status, number of shipments included, and any metadata related to the batch creation. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shippo API.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.goshippo.com.
  • Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the SHIPPO API VERSION header.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid API Key or Authentication Errors: Ensure that the provided API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
  • Unsupported API Version: If specifying a custom API version, verify that the version string matches one supported by Shippo.
  • Batch Creation Failures: Check the input data for correctness (e.g., shipment details) as invalid payloads will cause errors from the Shippo API.
  • Network Issues: Confirm network connectivity to api.goshippo.com.
