Overview

This node integrates with the Shippo API to create shipments. It allows users to programmatically generate shipment records, which can be used for label creation, tracking, and managing shipping logistics. This is particularly useful for e-commerce platforms, fulfillment centers, or any business needing to automate shipping workflows.

For example, after collecting order details, a user can use this node to create a shipment in Shippo, enabling subsequent steps like purchasing shipping labels or tracking packages.

Properties

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

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the created shipment object as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes shipment identifiers, status, rates, and other shipment metadata.

If the shipment creation involves binary data (e.g., shipping labels), it would be included in the output; however, based on the provided code, the focus is on JSON response data.

Dependencies

Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n.
The node uses the Shippo REST API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the SHIPPO API VERSION property.
Depends on the bundled OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request construction.

Troubleshooting

Invalid API Key or Authentication Errors: Ensure the Shippo API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
Unsupported API Version: If specifying a custom API version, verify that the version string matches one supported by Shippo.
Malformed Shipment Data: The node relies on correct input data structure; invalid or incomplete shipment details may cause API errors.
Network Issues: Connectivity problems to api.goshippo.com will prevent shipment creation.
