Syntax

class dshippingsdk.FedExTrack

Remarks

This class provides Tracking, Signature Proof of Delivery (SPOD), and Notification services:

• Tracking Service: to obtain real-time tracking information for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery, FedEx Express Freight, and FedEx Custom Critical shipments.
• Signature Proof of Delivery (SPOD): to request a proof of delivery letter that includes a graphic image of your recipient's signature after your shipment has been delivered.
• Notification to have FedEx automatically notify you and/or your customer and/or another third party by e-mail, fax, or wireless of significant shipment events, such as clearance delays, delivery attempts, releases, consolidated proofs of delivery, and pre-alerts.

The available options for Tracking service are:

Track by Tracking Number

On Single Piece Shipments, the tracking number represents the package's tracking number. This option applies to Express, Ground, Freight and Custom Critical shipments. You can track any package shipped by FedEx using track_shipment method by providing this number as the value of idValue parameter. No extra qualifiers (date range, etc.) are required in such case, but are recommended. It is also recommended that you provide the Carrier Code to ensure the desired results for your request. This class handles tracking numbers individually, not in batch.

On Multiple Package Shipments (MPS), the tracking number represents either the master tracking number or one of the associated sequential tracking numbers for child packages. This option is available for: Express and Ground (Domestic and International) multiple-package shipments, Express and Ground (Domestic and International) C.O.D. multiple-package shipments.

Tracking by the master tracking number returns tracking data for all child tracking numbers associated with the master.

Tracking by the child tracking number returns tracking data on the specific shipment associated with that tracking number.

Track by other identifier

This identifier can be a:

• Reference Number This option applies to Express, Ground, Freight, and Custom Critical shipments. You can track packages by a reference number entered during the shipping transaction. Track by Reference Number can use any of the following sources: Shipper/Customer Reference, Invoice Number, Purchase Order (PO), Department, Part Number, Returns Material Authorization (RMA), Transportation Control Number (TCN), Bill of Lading (BOL).
• Door Tag Number This option is available for Express and Ground U.S. and Canadian shipments. This option allows you to track by a FedEx Door Tag number. A Door Tag is left at the recipient's shipping address if the recipient is not there to receive the package. A Door Tag number is linked at FedEx with the package's original tracking number. This tracking functionality allows you to track using only the Door Tag number without requiring the associated tracking number. No additional search elements are required to track by Door Tag. You may request tracking scan information for any packages shipped by FedEx by providing a valid Door Tag Number.

To track by identifiers other than tracking number, the track_shipment method should be called by providing an idValue and the identifier_type, as well as other required values described in detail in this method description depending on the identifier type.

When the track request has been made for an identifier of type other than Tracking Number, either the shipper_account_number or the recipient_country_code and recipient_zip_code (where applicable) are required to be provided in the request.

Upon successful request, the user will receive the current shipment status with a detailed tracking activity.

To confirm a shipment has been received and signed for, you can call the get_proof_of_delivery or save_proof_of_delivery methods. With this feature, you can request a letter that includes a graphic of the recipient's signature for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments. The SPOD is returned in PDF format and may be printed, browsed, or e-mailed. There is no charge for Signature Proof of Delivery.

You can use Tracking service to check the status of your shipment at any time during delivery and up to 18 months after delivery. You can use SPOD service to obtain an image of the recipient's signature (if the signature is available) once the shipment has been delivered.

SPOD is available for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipments, that were delivered to destinations worldwide (where available), up to 18 months from the ship date. This includes the signature image and associated shipment data.

If the shipper_account_number is not provided in the SPOD request, the SPOD letter that you will obtain will contain summary information only. The letter will show only the city, state/province, and country information for the shipper and recipient.

If the shipper_account_number is provided in the SPOD request, and if this account number matches the shipper or payer of the shipment, the SPOD letter will contain detailed SPOD information, and you will be able to view complete contact name, company name, street address, city, state/province, postal code, and country information for both the shipper and recipient (if available).

In the scenarios above, the signature image and additional recipient information may not be available for display in all countries and will be indicated on the SPOD where applicable.

Signatures can take up to five days to process. Even if no signature is available, you can receive the available proof of delivery information. You can also check again later for the signature. If no signature is available after seven business days, call 1.800.GoFedEx. Note that the signature may be unavailable if it was released (the sender or recipient signed a signature release agreement).

SPOD requests cannot be batch processed. If you need multiple SPOD documents, you must create multiple request transactions.

To use this class, you must have a FedEx fed_ex_account_number. You should also have already obtained a fed_ex_developer_key, fed_ex_password and a fed_ex_meter_number uniquely assigned to your account by FedEx after registration for Web Services.

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.

A successful query returns all of the packages within a shipment. For example, if a shipment contained four packages, the query response would show all four packages.

If FedEx system doesn't locate any data for the requested identifier, the transaction will be considered successful and the Warning will contain the 'No data...' message. The full server reply will be saved to RawResponse.

The following properties may be populated upon method return:

• carrier_code_description
• ship_date
• package_tracking_number
• package_service_type_description

This information consists of: track_event_address1, track_event_address2, track_event_city, track_event_state, track_event_country_code, track_event_zip_code, track_event_date, track_event_time, track_event_status and track_event_exception.

If there is a problem with a specific identifier within the request, the response will raise an error that pertains to the specific idValue of a identifier_type type.

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

on_error Event

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

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

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

# In class FedExTrack:
@property
def on_error() -> Callable[[FedExTrackErrorEventParams], None]: ...
@on_error.setter
def on_error(event_hook: Callable[[FedExTrackErrorEventParams], 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 FedExTrackNotificationEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

# In class FedExTrack:
@property
def on_notification() -> Callable[[FedExTrackNotificationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_notification.setter
def on_notification(event_hook: Callable[[FedExTrackNotificationEventParams], 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 FedExTrackSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams(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 FedExTrack:
@property
def on_ssl_server_authentication() -> Callable[[FedExTrackSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], None]: ...
@on_ssl_server_authentication.setter
def on_ssl_server_authentication(event_hook: Callable[[FedExTrackSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams], 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 FedExTrackSSLStatusEventParams(object):
  @property
  def message() -> str: ...

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

Remarks

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