FAQ

Questions ShipEngine owners ask.

  • 01

    Can my AI automatically validate a shipping address just by providing the street, city, and zip code?

    Yes! Use the validate_address capability. Your agent will check if the address is valid, residential/commercial, and formatted correctly according to carrier standards.

  • 02

    How do I compare shipping rates for a specific package across different carriers?

    Simply ask the agent to run the get_rates action with the shipment details. It will retrieve and compare pricing from all configured carrier accounts.

  • 03

    How do I find my ShipEngine API Key?

    Log in to your ShipEngine dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Management, and you will find your unique secret API Key there.
