FedEx has two simple web API endpoints which you can use to print shipping labels. We use these APIs to ship products directly from our internal production fulfillment dashboard. It took about 30 minutes to set up and does NOT require registration through the FedEx developer program.

To our knowledge, this API is secret, and the document you are reading is the only place which explains it. We have set this up in our producting shipping environment and have been using it without change for 5+ years. It was as simple to setup as DYMO® Label Framework, which we also use in fulfillment.

You must call the login endpoint first before creating shipments.

Read the logon endpoint documentation or try the logon endpoint live example.

You will call the ship endpoint to create each shipment.

Read the ship endpoint documentation or try the ship endpoint live example.

This project endeavors to fully document the logon and ship endpoints. Any issue or pull request which can improve such documentation is in scope.

Additionally, if there is a machine readible vocabulary for documenting these endpoints (like Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint, HAL, Hydra, etc) then it will be in scope to add these structured descriptions into the project.
