Tracking API for Fedex and UPS [closed]

Is there any JavaScript API available for tracking Fedex and UPS packages?

I googled for something like this but couldn't find anything. Then I decided to do it server side in ROR.

Here it is how to get UPS and Fedex xml request and response from their test servers.

For Fedex:

track_no = '111111111111' # This is a test tracking number # This XML Request body for fedex xml_req = "<TrackRequest xmlns=' <Password>YOUR_ACC_PASSWORD</Password></UserCredential></WebAuthenticationDetail><ClientDetail> <AccountNumber>YOUR_ACC_NUMBER</AccountNumber><MeterNumber>YOUR_ACC_METER_NUMBER</MeterNumber></ClientDetail> <TransactionDetail><CustomerTransactionId>ActiveShipping</CustomerTransactionId></TransactionDetail> <Version><ServiceId>trck</ServiceId><Major>3</Major><Intermediate>0</Intermediate><Minor>0</Minor></Version> <PackageIdentifier><Value>#{track_no}</Value><Type>TRACKING_NUMBER_OR_DOORTAG</Type></PackageIdentifier> <IncludeDetailedScans>1</IncludeDetailedScans></TrackRequest>" path = "" #this url connects to the test server of fedex # for live server url is:"" url = URI.parse(path) http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host,url.port) http.use_ssl = true http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE response = http.post(url.path, xml_req) response_body = response.body res = response_body.gsub(/<(\/)?.*?\:(.*?)>/, '<\1\2>') hash = Hash.from_xml(res.to_s) 

And that's it! You will get response in hash variable, I converted xml response in to Hash because we can easily use Hash object at our view to display response data.

For UPS:

track_no = '1Z12345E1512345676' # This is a test tracking number # This XML Request body for UPS xml_req = '<?xml version="1.0"?><AccessRequest xml:lang="en-US"><AccessLicenseNumber>YOUR_ACC_LICENCE_NUMBER</AccessLicenseNumber> <UserId>YOUR_ACC_USER_ID</UserId><Password>YOUR_ACC_PASSWORD</Password></AccessRequest> <?xml version="1.0"?><TrackRequest xml:lang="en-US"><Request><TransactionReference> <CustomerContext>QAST Track</CustomerContext><XpciVersion>1.0</XpciVersion></TransactionReference> <RequestAction>Track</RequestAction><RequestOption>activity</RequestOption></Request> <TrackingNumber>#{track_no}</TrackingNumber></TrackRequest>' path = "" url = URI.parse(path) http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host,url.port) http.use_ssl = true http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE response = http.post(url.path, xml_req) response_body = response.body hash = Hash.from_xml(response_body.to_s) 

This hash variable contains the response of UPS Tracking Request in Hash format.

another easy way to do it: Just create a hyperlink with the following href

UPS:

FEDEX:

(not as elegant, but quick, easy and gets the job done!)

Or you can use the active_shipping gem for a nicer and cleaner way to track your packages for Fedex and UPS
