Does the FedEx shipping API have a SOAP endpoint?

Question

Does the FedEx shipping API have a SOAP endpoint? I'm unable to find the WSDL endpoint.

Answer 1

Their site has changed since the other 2 answers here.

The most direct answer is that they do not have a classic WSDL endpoint, where you just get a URL, Add Service Reference and go.

Instead they have you download a zip file which contains a wsdl file which you then use locally - pretty odd. That wsdl file changes name over time, as does the zip, with every version - but the current file is at:

https://images.fedex.com/templates/components/apps/wpor/secure/downloads/wsdl/201607/standard/RateService.zip

My guess is you can get at it without logging in given the images subdomain, likely a CDN.

Once that link dies here's how you currently navigate their obtuse Developer section, which they'll probably also change again:

http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/

Click FedEx Web Services on the left

Under the unclickable "Document and Downloads" part of the page, click Move to Downloads

Scroll to the bottom - there's a weird table with service names like "Quote Rates." Each time you expand a row, the header row will have some Download text stuffed into it. Clicking "WSDL" gets you the zip file.

Not the worst process for getting a simple WSDL I've seen but, they're definitely in the running.

Answer 2

Yes it would appear so.
