Validate shipping address using fedex API

Question

I am using rails 2.3.17, I have used fedex .

How can I validate the shipping address using fedex? Is there any proper documentation for the fedex api to validate address?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Honestly don't use FedEx's API to do address resi/comm versification. Its fraught with error, I've actually fed it FedEx owned warehouse locations and it told me they were residential. It may cost money but its better to use a third party like a smartystreets.com or someone like that.

If you have a set of fedex creds you can visit http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/ and get the API guides etc. I will say that some of their API's have errors in them so depending on what you're trying to do you can get some interesting results.
