Fed Ex Tracking API Shows Unpredictable Behavior Using Test Web Service URL and Credentials

Question

I have a question related to the Fed Ex Validation API. First of all, I use the FedEx testing URL and the credentials we create for development. I do not use the production program and URL. Basically I wanted to know the restriction on using credentials and url for ex testing. . In fact, I had a problem and I could not get an answer to this problem either in the document or in the search engine. I track the shipment by tracking number using the Fedex tracking web service ( using test URL and credentials ). Initially, they show the result, but after they stopped showing the result, I get a message in response that the tracking number was not found, but when I used the same tracking number on the ex ex website, then it shows the correct result. I do not know why this is so. Another thing is that for some tracking number it shows the result, and for some it is not displayed. Therefore, everyone leads me in the right direction.

Thanks Awadhendra

Answer 1

Finally, I solved this problem. In fact, there is no confusion about the behavior of FedEx services. In fact, I am using a specific service that is intended only for ground handling, and the tracking number that I use is not intended for ground handling. That is why I ran into a problem. Secondly, I use the fedex v9 tracking service, I changed it from v9 to v6, and it works.

Thanks.

If you use your own tracking / production number in a FedEx test environment, please note that their test environment stores the tracking data for several months. Everything that goes beyond this will return an error that the package information is not available, even if you can still successfully track it in the production process.

Here is a list of static tracking numbers you can use in your FedEx test environment:

449044304137821 = Shipment information sent to FedEx 149331877648230 = Tendered 020207021381215 = Picked Up 403934084723025 = Arrived at FedEx location 920241085725456 = At local FedEx facility 568838414941 = At destination sort facility 039813852990618 = Departed FedEx location 231300687629630 = On FedEx vehicle for delivery 797806677146 = International shipment release 377101283611590 = Customer not available or business closed 852426136339213 = Local Delivery Restriction 797615467620 = Incorrect Address 957794015041323 = Unable to Deliver 076288115212522 = Returned to Sender/Shipper 581190049992 = International Clearance delay 122816215025810 = Delivered 843119172384577 = Hold at Location 070358180009382 = Shipment Canceled 

The above list of tracking numbers will work if you point to the following server endpoint:

https://wsbeta.fedex.com-00-0043/web-services/track

Please note that the only time these numbers will not work is during scheduled FedEx maintenance windows.

For testing, you can use these ID numbers 111111111111 or 123456789012.

When you use Live Tracking numbers with Testing Credentials, there is some confusion, as you said.
