Overview

This node allows users to create a new Service Group in the Shippo platform via its API. Service Groups in Shippo typically represent collections or categories of shipping services that can be managed together. This operation is useful for organizing shipping options, automating shipping workflows, or integrating Shippo's shipping capabilities into broader logistics or e-commerce systems.

Practical examples include:

Automatically creating service groups based on product categories or shipping regions.
Managing and updating shipping service groups programmatically as part of an order fulfillment process.
Integrating with other systems to synchronize shipping configurations.

Properties

Name	Meaning
SHIPPO API VERSION	Optional string to specify a non-default API version for the request. See Shippo's API versioning guide for details.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created Service Group as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes details such as the service group ID, name, associated services, creation timestamps, and any metadata provided by Shippo.

If the API supports binary data for this operation (which is uncommon for service group creation), it would be included accordingly, but based on the context, output is expected to be purely JSON.

Dependencies

Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n for authentication.
Depends on the Shippo REST API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
Optionally uses the SHIPPO-API-VERSION header if specified to target a specific API version.

Troubleshooting

Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
Invalid API version: If specifying SHIPPO API VERSION, verify the version string matches supported versions from Shippo’s documentation.
Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to api.goshippo.com.
API errors: Check the response message for details; common issues include invalid parameters or missing required fields when creating a service group.
