What ShipBob (BYOK) is for

ShipBob (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own ShipBob data through the ShipBob API with a key you supply (personal access token (PAT)). Read-only: 9 tools (get_channels, get_orders, get_order, get_products, get_inventory_items, get_return_orders, get_receiving_orders, get_locations, get_invoices). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.shipbob.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by ShipBob. ShipBob and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

  • "Which ShipBob channels does my token belong to?"
  • "Which ShipBob orders were placed this week and have no tracking yet?"
  • "Show ShipBob order 4455667 with its shipments."
  • "Which ShipBob products match 'mug'?"
  • "Which inventory items do I have in ShipBob?"
  • "Which ShipBob returns are still awaiting arrival?"

What it does

  • get_channels: List the channels (API applications and store connections) of the account with id, name, owning application and granted scopes.
  • get_orders: List orders with order number, reference id, status, type, dates, shipping method and total price. Filter by date, reference ids or tracking state; pages by number.
  • get_order: Get one order by id with status, type, dates, tags, total price, products (SKU and quantity) and its shipments with tracking details.
  • get_products: List products with name, type, creation and update times, taxonomy and variants (SKU, status). Search by name or SKU; up to 250 per page.
  • get_inventory_items: List inventory items with id, name, SKU, barcode, dimensions, weight and active and bundle flags; search by name or SKU.
  • get_return_orders: List return orders with status, type, dates, original shipment, tracking number and fulfillment center. Filter by status or dates.
  • get_receiving_orders: List warehouse receiving orders (inbound shipments) with status, purchase order number, expected arrival, package type and fulfillment center.
  • get_locations: List ShipBob fulfillment center locations with name, region, time zone and active, receiving and shipping flags.
  • get_invoices: List invoices with type, date, amount, currency and running balance for a date range (default last month); up to 1000 per page.

BYOK key

You bring your own ShipBob personal access token (PAT) (https://web.shipbob.com/app/merchant/#/Integrations/token-management). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.shipbob.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

Live from the ShipBob API (api.shipbob.com) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://developer.shipbob.com/2026-07/introduction. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by ShipBob. ShipBob and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your ShipBob account.
