Overview
This node interacts with the Shippo API to list service groups available in a user's Shippo account. Service groups typically represent collections of shipping services or carriers grouped for easier management and selection. This operation is useful when you want to retrieve all available service groups to display options, filter shipments by service group, or automate shipping workflows based on specific service groups.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all service groups to populate dropdowns in subsequent workflow steps.
- Automating shipment creation by selecting services from specific groups.
- Integrating with other systems that require knowledge of available shipping service groups.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SHIPPO API VERSION | Optional string to specify a non-default API version for the Shippo API request. Useful for testing or using newer API features. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the list of service groups retrieved from the Shippo API. Each item in the output typically contains details about a service group such as its identifier, name, and associated services.
If the Shippo API supports binary data for this operation (which is uncommon for listing service groups), it would be included accordingly, but based on the static code and typical API behavior, the output is purely JSON.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The node uses the Shippo REST API endpoint at
https://api.goshippo.com. - Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the
SHIPPO API VERSIONproperty header.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure the Shippo API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
- Invalid API version: If specifying a custom API version, verify it matches supported versions documented by Shippo.
- Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to
api.goshippo.com. - Empty results: If no service groups are returned, check if the Shippo account has any service groups configured.
