## Overview

shipcloud is a German shipping platform that creates labels across many parcel carriers, books pickups, and tracks shipments from one account. Tray.ai connects to shipcloud through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the shipcloud API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping shipcloud credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store shipcloud credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the shipcloud API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the shipcloud API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to shipcloud?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to shipcloud through the HTTP Connector, which calls the shipcloud API directly. Any call the shipcloud API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with shipcloud?

The shipcloud API uses basic authentication. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated shipcloud connector?

shipcloud runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated shipcloud connector from the shipcloud API.
