How can I find the API Token?

The API Page is found by clicking on Settings in the left navigation panel of your Shippo dashboard and then click on API. Both the Live Tokens and Test Tokens are located here.

Generate a Token

To generate a Live Token, click on the Generate Token button in the Live Tokens section. To generate a Test Token, click on the Generate Token button in the Test Tokens section.

The Live Token should be used for most functions in production. The Test Token should be used when you want to test out the API end-to-end and purchase test shipping labels. You'll need to set your carrier accounts to test mode as well. You can reference the Test Mode documentation here.

Retrieve a Token

Tokens are masked in your dashboard for security and cannot be retrieved. You will only be able to view your token one time when you first generate the token. Please make a note of it at that time. If you need a token, you will need to generate a new one using the Generate Token button.

You'll see a pop-up window displaying your token and a message reminding you it is the only time it can be viewed.
