Shippo Get Rates Documentation
Overview
The Shippo Get Rates node is part of the Shippo integration in the Vantage workflow engine. Get available shipping rates for an existing shipment.
This node uses the Shippo API through Vantage's managed credential system — no manual token handling required.

How It Works
- Receives input data from upstream nodes through configured input ports.
- Authenticates with Shippo using your connected credentials.
- Executes the API operation with the provided configuration and input data.
- Returns the result through the output port for downstream processing.
Error handling is built in — if the API call fails, the node throws a descriptive error with the failure reason.
Input and Output
- Input: Accepts data in object or array format from upstream nodes.
- Output: Returns the Shippo API response as structured data.
