Rails 3.x using Bundler's Gemfile:
gem 'fedex'Rails 2.x or without Rails or Bundler:
gem install fedexDefine the shipper:
shipper = { :name => "Sender",
:company => "Company",
:phone_number => "555-555-5555",
:address => "Main Street",
:city => "Harrison",
:state => "AR",
:postal_code => "72601",
:country_code => "US" }Define the recipient:
recipient = { :name => "Recipient",
:company => "Company",
:phone_number => "555-555-5555",
:address => "Main Street",
:city => "Franklin Park",
:state => "IL",
:postal_code => "60131",
:country_code => "US",
:residential => "false" }Define the packages; multiple packages in a single shipment are allowed: Note that all the dimensions must be integers.
packages = []
packages << {
:weight => {:units => "LB", :value => 2},
:dimensions => {:length => 10, :width => 5, :height => 4, :units => "IN" }
}
packages << {
:weight => {:units => "LB", :value => 6},
:dimensions => {:length => 5, :width => 5, :height => 4, :units => "IN" }
}By default packaging type is "YOUR PACKAGING" and the drop off type is "REGULAR PICKUP". If you need something different you can pass an extra hash for shipping details
shipping_details = {
:packaging_type => "YOUR_PACKAGING",
:drop_off_type => "REGULAR_PICKUP"
}Create a Fedex::Shipment object using your FedEx credentials; mode should be
either production or development depending on what Fedex environment you want to use.
require 'fedex'
fedex = Fedex::Shipment.new(:key => 'xxx',
:password => 'xxxx',
:account_number => 'xxxx',
:meter => 'xxx',
:mode => 'production')To find a shipping rate:
rate = fedex.rate(:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_details => shipping_details)Fedex provides multiple total values; total_net_charge is the final amount you are looking for.
$ rate.total_net_charge => "34.03"
# Complete response
$ <Fedex::Rate:0x1019ba5f8
@total_net_charge="34.03",
@total_surcharges="1.93",
@total_billing_weight="8.0 LB",
@total_taxes="0.0",
@rate_type="PAYOR_ACCOUNT_PACKAGE",
@total_base_charge="32.1",
@total_freight_discounts=nil,
@total_net_freight="32.1",
@rate_zone="51">To create a label for a shipment:
label = fedex.label(:filename => "my_dir/example.pdf",
:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_details => shipping_details)Change the filename extension and pass a label_specification hash. For example:
example_spec = {
:image_type => "EPL2",
:label_stock_type => "STOCK_4X6"
}
label = fedex.label(:filename => "my_dir/example_epl2.pcx",
:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_details => shipping_details,
:label_specification => example_spec)This is useful when you need to store the labels for later use, and are hosting your application on Heroku as they do not allow writing to the filesystem, save the tmp directory. With Paperclip setup up on a shipment model:
label = fedex.label(:filename => "tmp/example_label.pdf",
:shipper=>shipper,
:recipient => recipient,
:packages => packages,
:service_type => "FEDEX_GROUND",
:shipping_details => shipping_details,
:label_specification => example_spec)Then attach the label to your Paperclip model:
shipment.fedex_label = label.file_name
shipment.save!Documentation for setting up Paperclip with Amazon S3 can be found in the Paperclip README.
To track a shipment:
tracking_info = fedex.track(:tracking_number => "1234567890123")
tracking_info.tracking_number
# => "1234567890123"
tracking_info.status
# => "Delivered"
tracking_info.events.first.description
# => "On FedEx vehicle for delivery"To verify an address is valid and deliverable:
address = {
:street => "5 Elm Street",
:city => "Norwalk",
:state => "CT",
:postal_code => "06850",
:country => "USA"
}
address_result = fedex.validate_address(:address => address)
address_result.residential
# => true
address_result.score
# => 100
address_result.postal_code
# => "06850-3901"Fedex::Shipment::SERVICE_TYPES
