ShipStation is automatable through API V1

ShipStation is automatable today through API V1. The requirements page says the host is https://ssapi.shipstation.com/. Authentication is HTTP Basic. The API key is the username and the API secret is the password, both found under Settings. The header is Authorization Basic and the Base64 of key:secret. The API is available on certain plans. It manages orders and shipments, creates labels, and retrieves rates. Responses include X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset. The documented limit is 40 requests per minute for each key and secret. HTTP 429 returns a JSON message Too Many Requests. Timestamps are ISO 8601 in PST/PDT. The V1 index says an early-access API V2 adds batch shipments, manifests, and return labels. That V2 reference was not opened. No ShipStation MCP server was established from the pages opened here. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 6 because order, shipment, label, and rate work is documented, and plan availability plus the 40-request limit remain.
