Overview
This node interacts with the Shippo API to update an existing carrier account. It is useful when you need to modify details of a carrier account already registered in Shippo, such as updating credentials or settings associated with that carrier. Practical scenarios include automating updates to shipping provider accounts after changes in contract terms or credentials without manually logging into the Shippo dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Carrier Account Id | The unique identifier (object ID) of the carrier account you want to update. |
| SHIPPO API VERSION | Optional header to specify a non-default version of the Shippo API to use for this request. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated carrier account object returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes all current details of the carrier account after the update operation has been applied.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n.
- Network access to
https://api.goshippo.comto perform API requests. - Optionally supports specifying a custom Shippo API version via a header.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Carrier Account Id: If the provided carrier account 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: Missing or invalid API key credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- API Version Issues: Specifying an unsupported or incorrect API version string may lead to unexpected errors. Use the default or verify supported versions from Shippo documentation.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Shippo API endpoint will prevent the update operation. Check network/firewall settings.
