Interact with Shippo API

Actions68

Overview

This node integrates with the Shippo API to create a new Shippo account. It is useful for automating the onboarding process of users or customers by programmatically generating Shippo accounts within workflows. For example, an e-commerce platform could use this node to automatically create shipping accounts for new sellers or partners without manual intervention.

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 newly created Shippo account details as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes account identifiers, status, and other metadata related to the created account. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shippo API.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.goshippo.com.
  • Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the SHIPPO API VERSION header.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that a valid Shippo API key is configured in the node credentials.
  • Invalid API version: If specifying a custom API version, verify it matches one supported by Shippo; otherwise, the request may fail.
  • Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to api.goshippo.com.
  • API errors: Check the response message for details if the creation fails (e.g., missing required fields).
