Overview
This node interacts with the Shippo API to retrieve details about a specific Carrier Parcel Template. It is useful when you need to fetch predefined parcel templates associated with carriers, which can be used for shipping label creation or shipment management. For example, if you want to get the dimensions and other attributes of a carrier's parcel template by its unique token, this node operation will provide that information.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Carrier Parcel Template Token | The unique string identifier of the carrier parcel template you want to retrieve. |
| SHIPPO API VERSION | Optional header to specify a non-default version of the Shippo API to use for the request. See Shippo API versioning documentation for details. |
Output
The output JSON contains the details of the requested Carrier Parcel Template as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes fields such as dimensions, weight limits, and other metadata related to the parcel template. The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n.
- Makes HTTP requests to the Shippo API endpoint at
https://api.goshippo.com. - Optionally supports specifying the API version via a custom header.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing Carrier Parcel Template Token: Ensure the token provided is correct and corresponds to an existing parcel template in your Shippo account.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the Shippo API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions.
- API version issues: If specifying a custom API version, ensure it is supported by Shippo; otherwise, the request may fail.
- Network or connectivity problems: Check your network connection and firewall settings to allow outbound HTTPS requests to Shippo.
