Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to retrieve detailed information about a specific shipping rate. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch the cost, carrier details, and other metadata related to a particular shipping rate identified by its unique ID. For example, after creating or listing shipping rates, you might want to get more detailed information about one selected rate before proceeding with label purchase or shipment confirmation.

Properties

Name	Meaning
Rate Id	The unique identifier (object ID) of the shipping rate you want to retrieve. This is required to specify which rate to fetch.
SHIPPO API VERSION	Optional header to specify a non-default version of the Shippo API to use for this request. Useful for testing or using new API features.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested shipping rate. This typically includes fields such as:

Rate amount and currency
Carrier name and service level
Estimated delivery time
Additional metadata related to the rate

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

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

Missing or invalid Rate Id: Ensure that the "Rate Id" property is provided and correctly references an existing rate object in Shippo.
Authentication errors: Verify that the Shippo API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
API version issues: If specifying a custom API version, confirm it is supported by Shippo; otherwise, omit this property to use the default version.
Network or connectivity problems: Check your network connection and firewall settings to allow outbound HTTPS requests to Shippo's API.

Common error messages will generally come from the Shippo API and may include 404 Not Found (invalid Rate Id), 401 Unauthorized (authentication failure), or 400 Bad Request (malformed request). Review the error message details to adjust inputs accordingly.
