Syntax

class dshippingsdk.FedExFreightRates

Remarks

When providing origin, destination information, weight, and service, this class allows a user to obtain a rate quote for a specific service, or a list of available FedEx Express services with the respective rate quotes.

You can send a rate request to FedEx by calling the get_rates method for a specific FedEx service (when requested_service is specified). The class will return rates for packages based on a combination of origin, destination, service type, weight, and package type. This also checks if the requested service is available, checks your origin/destination pair and ship date to determine whether the service you requested is a valid service type.

Discount rates are available for all services and origin/destination pairs. List rates are available for Express and Ground U.S. shipments only. To have list rates returned with your discount rates, you must set the rate_type to 0 (rtList). This way, you will receive both discount and list rates.

When requesting a rate quote, include as much detail as possible about your shipment. This information is important for calculating the correct shipping costs with surcharges.

Rating for a Multiple Package Shipment (MPS) is available for: Express U.S. Domestic and International multiple package shipments, Ground US Domestic and International multiple-package shipments, Express Domestic C.O.D. and International C.O.D. multiple-package shipments and Ground Domestic C.O.D. and International C.O.D. multiple-package shipments.

Please note that all rate quotes are estimates only and may differ from the actual invoiced amount.

With the FedExFreightRates Class, you can:

• Ensure service availability (after you provide the carrier code, service type, origination & destination postal codes, packaging type, drop-off type, and estimated weight);
• Retrieve the rate required for that shipment.

The restrictions on the allowed property values are listed separately under each control property description. If the user enters more than the allowed number of characters, an error will not be generated. The control will simply pass in the characters provided and the server may disregard the extra characters. This is important since the resulting value could prevent a correct response.

To use this class, you must have a FedEx fed_ex_account_number. You should also have already obtained a ClientId and ClientSecret; uniquely assigned to your account by FedEx.

The height of the package to be shipped.

For FedEx, the package_height is optional, but recommended, if "Your Packaging" is used as package_packaging_type. This is required if package_length and package_width are provided in the request. It is also required if a FedEx Express heavyweight service is selected for the shipment.

For UPS, this is the width of the package used to determine dimensional weight and therefore is recommended for all shipments.

It is required for GB to GB, and Poland to Poland shipments, and for 'Pallete' packaging type. For UPS packaging types: the length, width and height are defaulted.

Length + 2*(Width+Height) must be less than or equal to 130 IN or 330 CM. When package_width is provided in the request, then all other dimensions (package_length and package_height) are to be set as well.

0

Remarks

The packaging type of the package being rated and/or shipped.

Possible values are:

If this is set to a value that is not applicable to a certain provider, it will automatically be set to ptNone (0).

For FedEx, this is required in a ship request when either the get_package_label or get_shipment_labels method is called. FedEx only supports one packaging type for the whole shipment, so only the package_packaging_type for the first package is used in label requests.

If the package_packaging_type is set to 31 (Your Packaging), then the dimensions of the package should be provided in the request by setting the following: package_length, package_width, and package_height.

If the service_type is set to any of the FedEx Ground services (Ground or Ground Home Delivery), then the package_packaging_type will be automatically set to 31 (Your Packaging).

Please note that the types pt10kgBox (13) and pt25kgBox (14) are only meant for international shipments and domestic shipments outside of the United States.

For UPS, please note that when selecting package_packaging_type make sure this is valid for all the following: sender_country_code, recipient_country_code, service_type, and all special services requested at both shipment and package level.

Also the following restrictions apply when using UPS Mail Innovations:

For USPS, this is used for getting rates and Endicia labels. For international shipments, the only valid values are: ptRectangular and ptNonRectangular.

For Canada Post, ptLetter (2) is only applicable if theContractId is set.

The package_idx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the package_count property.

def set_package_signature_type(package_idx: int, value: int) -> None: ...

Default Value

0

Remarks

Specifies one of the Delivery Signature Options requested for this package. Possible values are:

For FedEx Express shipments, the NoSignatureRequired option will not be allowed when the following special services are requested: Alcohol, Hold At Location or Dangerous Goods.

For residential FedEx Ground International shipments from Canada to the U.S., two valid signature options are allowed: NoSignatureRequired and Direct.

The impact of signature options fees may vary depending on your agreement with FedEx. Following are the definitions for FedEx:

• Service Default: In this case, the appropriate signature option will be selected for your shipping service. For example, if the package contains Dangerous Goods, the Direct signature option is chosen for you. The actual signature option applied to this package could be different than the signature option requested if a conflict occurred with other service features in the package. In this case, the value set in the request will be ignored.
• Indirect Signature Required: Indicates that an indirect signature is required upon delivery. This is allowed to residential addresses only. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature in one of three ways: from any person at the delivery address, from a neighbor, building manager, or other person at a neighboring address. The recipient can sign a FedEx door tag authorizing release of the package without anyone present. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Direct Signature Required: Indicates that a direct signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery; Direct Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This option is not available for Hold at FedEx Location shipments. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Adult Signature Required: Indicates that the adult signature is required upon delivery. In this case, FedEx obtains a signature from any person at least 21 years old (government-issued photo identification required) at the delivery address. If no one is at the address, FedEx will reattempt delivery. Adult Signature Required overrides any recipient release that may be on file for deliveries to nonresidential addresses. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

Note: In the server reply, this option may differ from that requested value due to other characteristics of the shipment.

For UPS, when delivery confirmation is requested for a package, the package_signature_type should be set to a value other than 0 (stServiceDefault). The availability of this special service depends on the service_type. The type stIndirect is not valid for UPS packages.

Also, when using UPS Mail Innovations, delivery confirmation can be requested by setting this to stUSPSDeliveryConfirmation.

Delivery Confirmation and COD cannot coexist on a single package. Also, Delivery Confirmation option cannot be combined with the Return Services option.

For USPS, if this is not set to stServiceDefault or stNoSignatureRequired, the Signature Confirmation service will be used. Also, for Express label shipments, set this to stNoSignatureRequired to waive the signature requirements.

This does not apply for Canada Post.

The package_idx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the package_count property.

package_special_services Property

Contains the collection of special services offered on the package level.

For FedEx, to request any of the special services offered for a particular package in a ship request, you must set the package_special_services of that package to a set of valid flags.

The meaning and limitations for each special service option are listed below for FedEx:

• Appointment Delivery: Indicates that the appointment delivery special service is requested for this package. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Dangerous Goods: Indicates that this package contains dangerous goods. When the package_special_services contains this flag, then the package_dangerous_goods_accessible is required to be provided in the request as well. For FedEx Express services, these types of shipments are referred to as dangerous goods shipments. For FedEx Ground services, these types of shipments are referred to as hazardous materials (Hazmat) shipments. Hazmat shipments must be single package. FedEx Ground provides reliable delivery of hazardous materials in all U.S. states except Alaska and Hawaii. If you have not shipped hazardous materials with FedEx Ground before, contact your FedEx account executive first. FedEx needs to confirm that you have met government training requirements and can generate the documentation your shipments need. Additional information regarding hazardous materials shipping is provided at fedex.com/ us/services/options under the Hazardous Materials link. The Shipper's Hazardous Materials Certification report (OP-950), prints after a successful Ground close request. Please note that Hazmat shipments must be single package. If you create a multiple package (MPS) hazmat shipment, only one commodity prints on the OP-950. FedEx assesses a surcharge on each package containing dangerous goods/Hazmat materials. This might affect service availability as well.
• Dry Ice: Indicates that this package contains dry ice. FedEx assesses a surcharge on each package containing dry ice. This might affect service availability as well.
• Priority Alert: Indicates whether the priority alert special service is requested for this package. This is applicable to domestic shipments only. A per package surcharge is associated with Priority Alert. This is applicable for FedEx First Overnight and FedEx Priority Overnight. It can be associated with: Saturday Delivery, Hold Saturday, Hold at Location, Dangerous Goods, Dry Ice or Signature Service Option. Please note that Priority Alert requires a service contract. If you are interested in signing up for Priority Alert, contact your FedEx account executive.
• Non Standard Container: Indicates whether this package type is a non standard container. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• COD: Indicates that this is a COD package. This service will affect shipping rates and service availability. This is applicable for domestic FedEx Express and Ground services, except FedEx Home Delivery premium. When shipping COD via FedEx Ground, the package_cod_amount and package_cod_type must also be provided in the request.

For UPS, to request any of the special services offered for a particular package in a rate or ship request, you must set the package_special_services of that package to a set of valid flags.

The meaning and limitations for each special service option are listed below:

• Additional Handling: Indicates that additional handling special service is requested for this package. This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.
• Non Standard Container: Indicates whether this package type is to be considered a large package (a non standard container). Dimensions must be 130 to 165 inches: Length + (2 x Width) + (2 x Height). This might affect the shipping rates and/or service availability.

Some other special services on package level, such as COD, Delivery Confirmation, Insured Value, are already implemented respectively through the package_cod_amount and package_cod_type, package_signature_type, and package_insured_value.

This property is not applicable to USPS or Canada Post.

The package_idx parameter specifies the index of the item in the array. The size of the array is controlled by the package_count property.

Remarks

Weight of this package.

For FedEx, this is required to be provided in the request. It requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

For UPS, this is required to be provided in the request for each package contained in the shipment if package_packaging_type is set to a value other than 0 (UPS Letter). For Ground shipments, if the actual weight is less than 150 pounds, then the billable weight is 150 pounds. Air and 3 Day Select shipments will not be subject to a minimum billable weight. Format: it requires one explicit decimal position in pounds or kilograms, depending on the value of the WeightUnit config, (i.e. N.N formatting).

Note that if the service_type stUPSSurePostLessThan1LB or stUPSFirstClassMail is used, or the service_type stUPSExpeditedMailInovations is used with the package_packaging_type ptMachineables, ptIrregulars, or ptStandardFlat then the weight must be specified in ounces. The WeightUnit config will be set automatically to "OZS" if not set.

For USPS, this must be the weight in pounds and ounces of the package. Package weight cannot exceed 70 pounds. (First-Class Mail cannot exceed 13 ounces. Bound Printed Matter cannot exceed 15 pounds). On international shipments, weight limits vary by country.

The format must be in "N lbs N oz", or as an integer showing the number of ounces. For example, a package with weight 6 lbs, 8 oz can be specified as "6 lbs 8 oz" or as "104".

However, in USPS, if postage_provider is set to ppEndicia, then the format must be one explicit decimal position in ounces (i.e. N.N formatting).

Syntax

def get_ssl_cert_subject() -> str: ...
def set_ssl_cert_subject(value: str) -> None: ...

ssl_cert_subject = property(get_ssl_cert_subject, set_ssl_cert_subject)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are displayed below.

If a field value contains a comma it must be quoted.

ssl_provider Property

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

def get_ssl_provider() -> int: ...
def set_ssl_provider(value: int) -> None: ...

ssl_provider = property(get_ssl_provider, set_ssl_provider)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the class will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

Additional Notes

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The class will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected, on Windows the class will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the class will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

ssl_server_cert_encoded Property

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded).

Syntax

def get_ssl_server_cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

ssl_server_cert_encoded = property(get_ssl_server_cert_encoded, None)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The ssl_server_cert_store and ssl_server_cert_subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When ssl_server_cert_encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current ssl_server_cert_store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, ssl_server_cert_subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, ssl_server_cert_subject is set to an empty string.

This property is read-only.

timeout Property

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

def get_timeout() -> int: ...
def set_timeout(value: int) -> None: ...

timeout = property(get_timeout, set_timeout)

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use do_events to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the timeout property is 60 seconds.

total_weight Property

The total weight of all the pieces in this shipment.

Syntax

def get_total_weight() -> str: ...
def set_total_weight(value: str) -> None: ...

total_weight = property(get_total_weight, set_total_weight)

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is required when submitting a rate request by calling get_rates method. It requires one explicit decimal position (i.e. N.N formatting, example 5.0) and has a maximum length of 12 including the decimal.

config Method

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

def config(configuration_string: str) -> str: ...

Remarks

config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

get_rates Method

Returns rate information for a specified or all available FedEx services.

Syntax

def get_rates() -> None: ...

Remarks

To get the courtesy rate quotes for FedEx services, you can call the get_rates method. If the rates are needed for a specific service type, you will have to pass a value of the requested_service (other than 'UNSPECIFIED') in the request. The requested_service identifies the FedEx service for which you want to retrieve rate information. If the rates are wanted for all available FedEx services, you should not set a value to requested_service before sending the request to the FedEx server. It will default to 'UNSPECIFIED').

In either case, the following properties or config settings are sent in the request (if any of these have not been set, their default values will be used instead):

• fed_ex_server (required)
• fed_ex_developer_key (required)
• fed_ex_password (required)
• fed_ex_account_number (required)
• fed_ex_meter_number (required)
• rate_type (required)
• ship_date (optional)
• package_type (required)
• sender_address (required)
• recipient_address (required)
• total_weight (required)
• insured_value (optional)
• packages (required)
• shipment_special_services that can affect rates and/or service availability (such as COD, Saturday Pickup, Saturday Delivery, Hold At Location, Dry Ice, etc.) (optional)

Regarding the packages, please note the following:

• when requesting rates for all available services (requested_service set to 'UNSPECIFIED'), only one package should be added to this collection even for MPS. When rating MPS, just specify the packages and the details for one package only. FedEx will consider all packages the same;
• when requesting rates for a specific service (requested_service set to a value other than 'UNSPECIFIED'), you will have to add as many packages as there are in the MPS specifying the package detail for each package included in the shipment.

In each above mentioned cases, if there are no packages added and specified (packages = null), the class will throw an error.

Upon a successful response, the services property gets populated.

If there is a problem with any of the input values within the request, the response will either raise an error (when it's an hard error) and transaction will fail, or give a warning (when it's a soft error), which can be accessed via Warning, and the transaction will go through.

For more details on errors codes and descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

reset Method

Resets the internal state of the class and all properties to their default values.

Syntax

def reset() -> None: ...

Remarks

The Reset method does not have any parameters and does not return any value.

on_error Event

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

class FedExFreightRatesErrorEventParams(object):
  @property
  def error_code() -> int: ...

  @property
  def description() -> str: ...

# In class FedExFreightRates:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[FedExFreightRatesErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[FedExFreightRatesErrorEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The on_error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

on_notification Event

Notification returned by the server upon successful request (if applicable).

Syntax

class FedExFreightRatesNotificationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class FedExFreightRates:
@property
def on_notification() -> Callable[[FedExFreightRatesNotificationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_notification.setter
def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[FedExFreightRatesNotificationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

When sending a request, the server may return with a successful reply or an error. However, even when a transaction is successful, a warning or a note might still be returned by the server. In such cases, the on_notification event is fired.

Notifications returned through this event are non-fatal and shipments will still be processes, labels will still be printable, rates are still returned, etc. These notifications should be treated as informational only.

on_ssl_server_authentication Event

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

class FedExFreightRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def cert_encoded() -> bytes: ...

  @property
  def cert_subject() -> str: ...

  @property
  def cert_issuer() -> str: ...

  @property
  def status() -> str: ...

  @property
  def accept() -> bool: ...
  @accept.setter
  def accept(value) -> None: ...

# In class FedExFreightRates:
@property
def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[FedExFreightRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[FedExFreightRatesSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

on_ssl_status Event

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

class FedExFreightRatesSSLStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class FedExFreightRates:
@property
def on_ssl_status() -> Callable[[FedExFreightRatesSSLStatusEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_status.setter
def on_ssl_status(event_hook: Callable[[FedExFreightRatesSSLStatusEventParams], None]) -> None: ...

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

FedExFreightRates Config Settings

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the config method.
