Shippo

Interact with Shippo API

Actions68

Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to list user parcel templates. It is useful for retrieving saved parcel templates associated with a user's Shippo account, which can streamline shipping label creation by reusing predefined parcel dimensions and details. Practical scenarios include automating shipment workflows where consistent parcel sizes are used frequently, such as in e-commerce fulfillment or logistics operations.

Properties

Name Meaning
SHIPPO API VERSION Optional string to specify a non-default Shippo API version to use for the request. This allows targeting specific API versions.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of user parcel templates retrieved from the Shippo API. Each item in the output typically contains details about a parcel template such as dimensions, weight, and any other metadata defined in the Shippo system.

If the API supports binary data (e.g., labels or documents), it would be included accordingly, but based on this operation, the output is primarily structured JSON data describing parcel templates.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n.
  • Connects to the Shippo API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
  • Optionally uses a custom API version header if specified.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the Shippo API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions.
  • Invalid API version: If specifying a custom API version, verify that the version string matches one supported by Shippo; otherwise, the request may fail.
  • Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to the Shippo API endpoint.
  • Empty results: If no parcel templates are returned, verify that the Shippo account has saved parcel templates.
