Introduction
FedEx Web Services gives you the tools to build custom platform- and
interface-independent applications that access FedEx features. You can use
FedEx Web Services in a variety of ways to create customized integration
solutions for your specific shipping needs. Here are just a few of the ways a
company can use web services to streamline operations, improve visibility,
and provide more choices to clients:
• Verify Addresses and Improve Customer Satisfaction: Prompt
customers for additional information in the event of an address
discrepancy or missing information with the Address Validation WSDL.
• Give Customers More Options: Help customers learn about all the
available shipping options and rates with the Ship Service WSDL,
OpenShip WSDL, and the Rate Services WSDL. You can also extend this
service to your shopping cart and website, allowing customers to access
money-saving information firsthand.
• More Convenience: Use the Locator Service WSDL to find the FedEx
pickup location nearest your customer. Or, send an email to your
customers with a link to this service as part of your standard order-receipt
process.
• Offer Global Shipping Options: Create shipping labels for worldwide
locations. Improve customer service by offering more shipping options to
customers in more countries with the consolidated Ship Service WSDL.
• Reduce Customer Service Costs: Decrease phone traffic from
customers checking the status of their shipments and cut customer service
costs. FedEx provides online Tracking and Visibility Services that allow you
to provide customers with the status of shipments, Signature Proof of
Delivery (SPOD), and Shipment Notification in the Ship Request.
• Simplify Processes and Improve Satisfaction: In addition to
ExpressTagAvailability, provide a simple way to allow customers to return
an order with Email Labels. This service sends an email with the address
(URL) of a website where the recipient can log in and print a return label.

Why should developers be interested in web services?
• Interoperability: Any web service can interact with any other web
service and can be written in any programming language.
• Ubiquity: Web services communicate using HTTP and XML. Any
connected device that supports these technologies can both host and
access web services.
• Low Barrier to Entry: The concepts behind web services are easy to
understand, and developers can quickly create and deploy them using
many toolkits available on the web.
• Industry Support: Major content providers and vendors support the web
services movement.
Any application running on any platform can interact with a web service by
using the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services
Description Language (WSDL) standards for message transfer and service
discovery. By following the standards, applications can seamlessly
communicate with platform services.

The purpose of a WSDL is to completely describe a web service to a client. A
WSDL defines where the service is available and what communications
protocol is used to talk to the service. It defines everything required to write
a program to work with an XML web service. A WSDL document describes a
web service using seven major elements. Elements can be abstract or
concrete.

Web Services, WSDL, and SOAP Overview

Abstract XML elements describe the web service: , ,

WSDL Elements

Web services are a collection of programming technologies, including XML,
Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and SOAP, which allow you to
build programming solutions for specific messaging and application
integration.

Element

Definition

The root element contains name space definitions.

The most important WSDL element. It is a set of all operations that a web service
can accept and is a container for elements. This WSDL element
describes a web service, the operations that can be performed, and the messages
that are involved, and can be compared to a function library (or a module or a
class) in a traditional programming language.

Defines variable types used in the web service (both the parameters passed to a
function and the type of the value passed back via the response). The data types
are described by XML schema. This element contains user-defined data types (in
the form of XML schema). The element defines the data types that are
used by the web service For maximum platform neutrality, WSDL uses XML
schema syntax to define data types.

Web services are, by definition, platform independent. FedEx Web Services
allow developers to build custom applications that are independent of
changes to the FedEx interface.
Note: FedEx Web Services are not offered as part of a Universal Description Discovery and
Integration (UDDI) and must be downloaded from the FedEx Developer Resource Center
(fedex.com/developer) and stored locally for development and usage.

WSDL
A SOAP request to, or response from, a service is generated according to the
service’s WSDL definition. A WSDL document describes a service. It is an

FedEx Web Services, Rate Services

SOAP

Element

Definition

Defines the data elements of an operation. Each message can consist of one or
more parts that can be compared to the parameters of a function call in a
traditional programming language.

Child of the element that defines each operation that the port exposes.
This element allows three messages only:

Input Message

Output Message

Data web servicervices send

Fault Message

Error messages from web services

The element contains a child element that describes the URL
where the service is located. This is the location of the ultimate web service.

The element defines the message format and protocol details for each
port. The binding element has two attributes: the name attribute and the type
attribute. This element specifies how the client and the web service should send
messages to one another.

SOAP is a simple XML-based protocol that allows applications to exchange
information over HTTP. SOAP is built on open standards supported by
numerous development tools on various platforms. SOAP provides a way to
communicate between applications running on different operating systems,
with different technologies and programming languages. The SOAP request
interface is an object in your application programming language.
SOAP enables the data to pass through layers of intermediaries and arrive at
the ultimate receiver the way it was intended. It is worth noting that you may
not need to actually construct the SOAP messages yourself — many
development tools available today construct SOAP behind the scenes.

SOAP Message
A SOAP message is an ordinary XML document that can be a request for a
web service from a client or a “reply” from a web service to a client.

For more information about the SOAP standard, refer to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Website at http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP.

Non-SOAP Web Services
FedEx offers a non-SOAP web services solution that you can use to send transactions without having to use tools that provide SOAP protocol support for web
services. This may be convenient for developers using environments that do not provide support for SOAP. With this interface, XML documents are sent directly
to the FedEx servers via the HTTP POST command. FedEx provides a set of specifications and examples to help with the development of this type of
communications method.
To use the non-SOAP web service solution, you must have a working knowledge of HTTPS and Secure Socket Layering (SSL) encryption, the ability to provide a
secure SSL connection to FedEx and the ability to code to an operation interface using XML.
The interfaces used in the SOAP and non-SOAP web services are defined in WSDL files. The WSDL files contain schemas that define the layout of the
operations. The same WSDL file is used for both the SOAP and non-SOAP web service users.
Non-SOAP users are concerned only with the schema definitions and not the other WSDL components that are SOAP-specific. The XML data that is sent via the
non-SOAP interface looks almost identical to the data that is sent via the SOAP interface. The only difference is that the data sent via the non-SOAP interface
does not contain the wrapping Envelope and Body tags that are specific to SOAP. An example of a request using the non-SOAP interface looks like this:

Error Handling
Error handling for non-SOAP operations is different from error handling for SOAP operations. The SOAP specification provides an error handling mechanism that
is not present for non-SOAP operations. For a SOAP operation, a fault is returned as a SOAP exception. For a non-SOAP request, the contents of the SOAP fault
are returned as an XML document. These SOAP fault documents are returned in situations such as schema validation failures or when operation types are
unrecognized. In the following example, a SOAP fault document is returned from a schema validation failure in which the AccountNumber element was
incorrectly sent as the AccountNumberx element:

soapenv:Server
5: Schema validation failed for request.

Each reply should be checked for the Fault element to indicate failure in processing the message.
Note: Normal error processing still applies; this is an additional error check for incorrect syntax in XML documents.

Keep in mind that if you use either the SOAP or non-SOAP version of FedEx Web Services, labels are returned as Base64 encoded. To print shipping labels, you
must decode labels before sending them to your printer.

Introduction
Non-SOAP HTTP POST Example

Implementing FedEx Web Services

The following HTTPS POST example is a valid working example, but is not
guaranteed to work for all programming languages, applications, and host
systems:

Before you begin your implementation of FedEx Web Services, make note of
the following guidelines:

POST /xml HTTP/1.0
Referrer: YourCompanyNameGoesHere
Host: gatewaybetawsbeta.fedex.com
Port: 443
Accept: image/gif, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, text/plain,
text/html, */*
Content-Type: image/gif
Content-length: %d
Your FedEx Transaction

Each line is followed by one new line character except Content-length and
the FedEx transaction. Two new line characters follow the Content-length
line. The FedEx transaction has no extra characters. The Content-length line
should have the length of the FedEx transaction in place of the %d variable.
Note: Port 443 must be opened for bi-directional communication on your firewall.

After formatting your non-SOAP transaction and placing it in a HTTP POST
request, you will need to open an SSL connection to the FedEx test server
and send the request through FedEx by using your SSL connection.
Next, parse the HTTPS response to determine if there were any errors.
Examine the HTTP header to determine if any HTTP or Web Server errors
were encountered. If you received a 200 status code, parse the reply to
determine if there were any processing problems.

Visual Basic Project Error
You may receive an error indicating that an element is not set, even after
setting it in the code. When you set a Boolean type element to true, you may
also need to set the specified element to true.

• FedEx Web Services are designed for use by skilled developers who are
familiar with the communication standards SOAP and Web Services
Description Language (WSDL).
• Unlike traditional client/server models, such as a web server or web page
system, web services do not provide the user with a graphical user
interface (GUI). Instead, web services share business logic, data, and
processes through a programmatic interface across a network.
• To perform a particular FedEx task such as tracking a package, you need
to use a class, module, or function that creates your request, sends it to
the FedEx platform, and handles the response.
• FedEx Web Services are designed to support any operating system and
coding language. Downloadable sample code is available in Java, C#, VB,
.Net and PHP languages from the FedEx Developer Resource Center
Technical Resources.
• Transactions submitted to FedEx using FedEx Web Services are required to
have a minimum of 128-bit encryption to complete the request.

Understanding the XML Schema
The XML schema defines the messages that you can use to access the FedEx
Services. You create a request that contains business data and other
instructions and you send it to FedEx. FedEx replies with a response that
contains the data resulting from the instructions you sent in. Notice that
schema diagrams are conveniently linked to help you find information and
child values.

FedEx Web Services, Rate Services

Chapter 1

Introduction
The XML schema provides a means for defining the structure, content, and
semantics of XML documents.
An XML schema defines:
• Elements and attributes that can appear in a document

elements and simple types as belonging to the vocabulary of the XML
schema language, rather than the vocabulary of the schema author.

Guide to the XML Schema

• Order and number of child elements

The XML schema for each WSDL provides details about the structure,
content, and semantics of the request XML document sent to a FedEx Web
Service and the XML document returned by that FedEx Web Service.

• Whether an element is empty or can include text

The top of each service schema includes:

• Data types, default values, and fixed values for elements and attributes

• Schema location and schema file name that ends in an ".xsd" suffix.

Some important facts about the XML schema:

• Alphabetical listing of complex types for the documented service.

• Elements that contain sub-elements or carry attributes have complex
types.

• Alphabetical listing of schema simple types for the documented service.

• Elements that are child elements

• Elements that contain numbers (and strings, and dates, etc.), but do not
contain any sub-elements, have simple types. Some elements have
attributes. Attributes always have simple types.
• Complex types in the instance document, and some of the simple types,
are defined in the schema associated with a FedEx Web Service. Other
simple types are defined as part of XML schema's repertoire of built-in
simple types.
• XML schema built-in simple types are prefixed by "xs:", which is
associated with the XML schema namespace through the declaration
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001// XMLSchema", displayed in the
schema element.
• The same prefix, and the same association, are also part of the names of
built-in simple types, e.g., xs:string. This association identifies the

• Input or request data type for the documented service.
• Output or reply data type for the documented service.
The remainder of the service schema contains tables of information about
each element, complex type, and simple type.
Each table consists of some or all of the following sections: diagram,
namespace, children, type, properties, used by, facets, and source.

XML Schema Diagrams
XML schema diagrams describe the elements (usually associated with a
request or reply), complex types, and simple types that make up the WSDL.
The following table illustrates the relationships and behavior of elements and
types.

Most requests to FedEx require the following complex elements:
These elements are common to most Web Services (see the following table
for which WSDLs need which common elements) and are not documented
service by service.
WebAuthenticationDetail: The WebAuthenticationDetail element includes
user credentials issued by FedEx so that your transactions are recognized by
the FedEx back-end systems. The following elements are required:

• A standard type such as “string” appears in black text below element
name.
• A FedEx specific type such as “Address” appears in red text below the
element name.
Note: When building a Web-based application for shipping that will be used at multiple
locations, include the local FedEx Express® account and meter in the ClientDetail section
of the ship transaction. Create a database to hold multiple account and meter numbers
for the shipping locations.

TransactionDetail: The TransactionDetail element is optional for all
transactions. However, if you want to identify associated request and reply
transactions, use this element.
Element

Implementation Process
Planning your integration and organizing your application data to address your
shipping needs can sometimes take more time than the actual implementation
of the integration. FedEx Web Services conform to industry standards and are
compatible with a comprehensive array of developers’ tools. This ensures the
fastest time-to-market with maximum flexibility to integrate FedEx
transactions and information into your applications. FedEx WSDLs are fully
interoperable with any product or developer’s tool that also conforms to the
WS-I Basic Profile. For details, see http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile1.1-2004-08-24.html.
To obtain FedEx Web Services and begin integrating with an application, you
will need to access documentation, sample code, and sample service requests
and replies with the WSDLs from the FedEx Developer Resource Center
Technical Resources. You will also need to obtain a test meter number to
engage in real-time online testing in the FedEx hosted test environment.
Note: Not all services are available outside the U.S.

Introduction
Testing

Requirements for Corporate and Non-Commercial Developers

FedEx supplies a complete online operating environment with which to test
your applications against live FedEx servers. In order to execute test
interactions, you must first include a test account number, test meter number,
authentication key, and password in your code. These credentials are provided
to registered developers.

There are some differences in how support is provided and in the approvals
required to go into production that depend on whether you are creating an
application for use by your own company or you are planning to resell your
solution to others.

Certification

Corporate developers are typically part of a dedicated development team at a
single company. This category also includes third-party developers
(consultants) hired by the company to work on its behalf. In all cases, the
integration will be used by the company itself and will not be resold or
distributed outside of its own footprint. In this situation, FedEx can support
the customer directly.

Certification is the process of ensuring that your implementation meets a
number of requirements for safe, secure, and effective operation of your
solution in the FedEx production environment. Certification requirements differ
based on whether you are a corporate or commercial developer, and whether
you are implementing using the advanced or standard services.

Go to Production

Requirements and Resources for Corporate Developers

Requirements and Resources for Corporate Developers
Must be accepted into the FedEx® Compatible Solutions Program (CSP)

Once an application has passed certification, the developer must replace the
test credentials with the production credentials issued by FedEx. The
application connection is then directed to the production servers, and the
application is live.

Self-certification of implementations using standard services

Yes

Self-certification of implementations using advanced services

Certification assistance

Yes (WISC team)

Once an application has completed the above mentioned process and
requirements, FedEx will enable the provider’s CSP credentials for processing
all applicable services in the production environment. The URL needed to
direct the CSP application to the FedEx production servers will also be
provided. The provider would then need to obtain production User Credentials
(Register CSP User Service) and a production meter number (Subscribe
Service). Once this information has been obtained with the connection
directed to the production servers, the provider’s application is considered
live.

FedEx supports the customer directly

Yes

Preproduction Assistance
Preproduction assistance is available via the FedEx Web Integrated Solutions
Consultation (WISC) team. If you are in the preproduction stages of
implementing a FedEx web integrated solution and would like to speak with a
FedEx integration consultant who can assist you in understanding FedEx Web
Services, contact your FedEx sales executive or technical support at
1.877.339.2774 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. (CST), and Saturday 9
a.m. to 3 p.m. (CST). Both your FedEx sales executive and technical support
can request a WISC team member to contact you within 3 business days.

Introduction
Corporate developers may find that solutions to their needs have already
been implemented by a software vendor that is part of the FedEx®
Compatible Solutions Program. If improved time-to-market, cost containment,
or specialized knowledge is needed, corporate development planners may
want to review the available third-party solutions. To see a list of the
solutions provided by the CSP providers, go to the Available CSP Solutions
page: fedex.com/us/compatiblesolutions/.

more information about the FedEx Compatible Solutions Program (CSP).

Requirements for Consultants

URL Errors

Consultants developing on behalf of a corporate customer must ensure that
their client provides their account information and a signed End User License
Agreement to FedEx in order to obtain a production test meter.

If a VB.NET or C# project still sends transactions to the test server after
changing the URL in the WSDLs to print to production, perform the following:

Requirements and Resources for Commercial Developers
Commercial developers create solutions with the intent of distributing and/or
reselling them to their customers. Because they are deployed in a variety of
situations, commercial integrations generally require a higher order of “fit and
finish.” Commercial developers are responsible for supporting their products
for their customers. FedEx has a dedicated team of professionals to help
developers commercialize their products and to coordinate the three-way
interplay between the developer, the end customer, and FedEx.

• Make sure permissions are already activated in the production
environment.
• Copy the WSDL files to a different folder.
• Follow the directions on changing the new WSDL files to point to
production as described in the FedEx Developer Resource Center in the
“Move to Production” topic.
• Remove existing web services references from your project that point to
old WSDLs containing the URLs to the test environment.
• Create new web references that point to the modified WSDLs. Use the
same names as the old references.

• Compile and test the project. Your new production credentials should work
for standard web services, such as rating or tracking without extra
permissions. Advanced web services require permissions to be active
before they will work. Old test key values will now return an error
message.

Rate Services
Use the RateService WSDL to request pre-ship rating information and to
determine estimated or courtesy billing quotes. Time in Transit can be
returned with the rates if it is specified in the request. Depending on how a
rate request is structured, the reply will return in different structures. These
structures have two different names.

• The Rate Available Services operation returns the rate for the origin and
destination for the requested service.

Rate

• Rating is available for FedEx SmartPost® Shipping. See FedEx SmartPost
Request Elements for more details.

RateRequest provides a rate response on a single service.

• This quote is an estimate and may differ from the actual invoiced amount.

Note: A rate request does not return route or service availability. All rate quotes are
estimates only and may differ from the actual invoiced amount.

Rate Available Services/Rate Shopping
A Rate Available Services request will provide a list of available services
from one request. Rates are returned for each service on the list.
Note: A Rate Available Services request does not return route information, but does check
service availability and returns only those services that are actually available.

Rate Service Details
The Rate and Rate Available Services operations provide a shipping rate
quote for a specific service combination depending on the origin and
destination information supplied in the request. The following details apply:
• Discount rates are available for all services and origin/destination pairs.
• Time in transit may be returned with the rates if it is specified in the
request.
• The Rate operation returns the rate for the origin and destination by
requested service. You will not receive service checking to validate
whether that service is actually available for your ship date and origin/
destination pair.

Note: Only valid services are returned.

• Rate and Rate Available Services for FedEx Express shipments support
intra-Mexico shipping.

• Rate shopping, service-specific commitment and rate information may also
be specified.
For more detailed information about the services offered by FedEx, see the
electronic FedEx Service Guide.

Rate Coding Details
When requesting a rate quote:
• Include as much detail as possible about your shipment. The RateService
WSDL provides elements to identify your shipment, including shipping
option elements. This information is important for calculating the correct
shipping costs with surcharges.
• Use the optional RateRequestTypes element to have list rates returned
with discount rates. If you choose LIST as the element value, you receive
both discount and list rates, in addition to automation rate quotes.
• For Rate (a single service), specify the service to ensure rate data for the
service and shipment data input is returned. For Rate Available Services
(multiple services returned), do not include the ServiceType. The system
will then return a list of services.
• For Rate, specify the carrier by using CarrierCode. For Rate Available
