# Create a shipment

> Learn how to create a Shipment object in the Shippo API to automatically retrieve available shipping rates.

In the Shippo API, creating a [Shipment object](/api-reference/shipments/list-all-shipments) will automatically retrieve a list available rates.\
To create a Shipment object, call the shipment endpoint `https://api.goshippo.com/shipments/`.
At a minimum, a shipment requires a `address_from`, `address_to`, and `parcels`.

To learn how to create a Shipment object, follow [our guide](/docs/Guides_general/generate_shipping_label#create-a-shipment-object).

<Warning>
  Shipment objects and their associated rates are only retrievable for up to 390 days after creation.
