Interact with Shippo API

Actions68

Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to retrieve details about a specific Shippo account. It is useful when you need to fetch account information such as account status, settings, or metadata associated with a Shippo account by providing its unique identifier.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving account details for auditing or reporting purposes.
  • Verifying account information before performing shipping operations.
  • Integrating Shippo account data into other workflows or systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Shippo Account Id The unique object ID of the Shippo account to retrieve. This is required to specify which account to get.
SHIPPO API VERSION Optional header to specify a non-default version of the Shippo API to use for this request. See Shippo's API versioning guide for details.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the Shippo account details retrieved from the API. This typically includes fields such as account identifiers, status, and configuration data as defined by Shippo's account resource schema.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • Connects to the Shippo API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
  • Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via a request header.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Shippo Account Id: If the provided account ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • API Version Issues: Specifying an unsupported API version may result in errors. Use valid versions as per Shippo’s documentation.
  • Network or Connectivity Problems: Check network access to api.goshippo.com and ensure no firewall blocks the request.
