Authentication
Before you can start using the Shippo API, you’ll need to register for a free Shippo account and get your API live token from the API page of the dashboard.
To create production shipping labels and make live requests, you must authenticate your requests using the live token. All code samples in these tutorials use your test token.
Client Libraries
To make your integration process go faster, we’ve created client libraries in Ruby, PHP, Python, NodeJS, Java and C#. We recommend installing them first before you start with Shippo.

Test Mode
You can try out the Shippo API and get test labels for free by using your API test token instead of the live token.
