fedex

FedEx REST API client for Address Validation, Ground End of Day Close, OAuth tokens, Rates and Transit Times, Shipment Cancellation, and Shipment Creation.

Installation

$ npm install @stores.com/fedex

Usage

const FedEx = require('@stores.com/fedex');

const fedex = new FedEx({
    api_key: 'your_api_key',
    secret_key: 'your_secret_key'
});

By default the client targets the production endpoint (https://apis.fedex.com). To point at the sandbox, pass url explicitly:

const fedex = new FedEx({
    api_key: 'your_api_key',
    secret_key: 'your_secret_key',
    url: 'https://apis-sandbox.fedex.com'
});

Methods

cancelShipment(cancelRequest, options)

Cancel a FedEx shipment via the Ship API. The caller supplies the full request body — accountNumber, trackingNumber, senderCountryCode, deletionControl — and the package forwards it verbatim.

See: https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/catalog/ship/v1/docs.html

const json = await fedex.cancelShipment({
    accountNumber: { value: 'your_account_number' },
    deletionControl: 'DELETE_ALL_PACKAGES',
    senderCountryCode: 'US',
    trackingNumber: '794644790138'
});

Non-2xx responses reject with HttpError. If FedEx returns a 200 response carrying a non-empty errors[] envelope, the call rejects with an HttpError whose message is every message joined by ; and whose .json is the full response body (with the errors[] array, codes, and any other fields).

createShipment(shipRequest, options)

Create a FedEx shipment via the Ship API. The caller supplies the full request body — accountNumber, labelResponseOptions, requestedShipment — and the package forwards it verbatim.

See: https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/catalog/ship/v1/docs.html

const json = await fedex.createShipment({
    accountNumber: { value: 'your_account_number' },
    labelResponseOptions: 'URL_ONLY',
    requestedShipment: {
        packagingType: 'YOUR_PACKAGING',
        pickupType: 'USE_SCHEDULED_PICKUP',
        recipients: [{
            address: {
                city: 'New York',
                countryCode: 'US',
                postalCode: '10001',
                stateOrProvinceCode: 'NY',
                streetLines: ['10 FedEx Pkwy']
            },
            contact: {
                personName: 'Test Recipient',
                phoneNumber: '0000000000'
            }
        }],
        requestedPackageLineItems: [{ weight: { units: 'LB', value: 5 } }],
        serviceType: 'FEDEX_GROUND',
        shipper: {
            address: {

                postalCode: '38116',
                stateOrProvinceCode: 'TN',
                streetLines: ['10 FedEx Pkwy']
            },
            contact: {
                companyName: 'Test Shipper',
                phoneNumber: '0000000000'
            }
        },
        shippingChargesPayment: { paymentType: 'SENDER' }
    }
});

const trackingNumber = json.output.transactionShipments[0].masterTrackingNumber;

console.log(trackingNumber);
// '794644790138'

getAccessToken()

FedEx APIs use the OAuth 2.0 protocol for authentication and authorization using the client_credentials grant type. Tokens are cached in-process per API key until shortly before they expire.

See: https://developer.fedex.com/api/en-us/catalog/authorization.html

const accessToken = await fedex.getAccessToken();

console.log(accessToken);
// {
//     access_token: '...',
//     expires_in: 3600,
//     scope: 'CXS',
//     token_type: 'bearer'
// }

const json = await fedex.groundEndOfDayClose({
    accountNumber: { value: 'your_account_number' },
    closeDate: '2026-05-14',

    accountNumber: { value: 'your_account_number' },
    rateRequestControlParameters: {
        rateSortOrder: 'SERVICENAMETRADITIONAL',
        returnTransitTime: true,
        servicesNeededOnRateFailure: true
    },
    requestedShipment: {
        packagingType: 'YOUR_PACKAGING',
        pickupType: 'USE_SCHEDULED_PICKUP',
