Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to retrieve details about a specific carrier account. It is useful when you need to fetch information about a particular shipping carrier account configured in Shippo, such as for verifying account details or integrating shipping options dynamically in your workflow.

A practical example would be an e-commerce automation where you want to pull carrier account details before creating shipments or calculating rates, ensuring that the correct carrier credentials and settings are used.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Carrier Account Id	The unique identifier (object ID) of the carrier account you want to retrieve from Shippo.
SHIPPO API VERSION	Optional header to specify a non-default version of the Shippo API to use for this request. See Shippo's API versioning guide for details.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the carrier account object retrieved from Shippo. This typically includes all relevant details about the carrier account such as its ID, carrier type, credentials status, and other metadata provided by the Shippo API.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n.
Depends on network access to the Shippo API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
Optionally supports specifying the API version via a custom header.

Troubleshooting

Invalid Carrier Account Id: If the provided ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the ID is correct and corresponds to an existing carrier account.
Authentication Errors: Ensure the Shippo API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
API Version Issues: Using an unsupported or incorrect API version string may cause errors. Refer to Shippo’s API versioning documentation to select a valid version.
Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Shippo API endpoint will prevent successful retrieval.
