Return weight for FedEx shipments as additional detail. #17

Closed brianherbert closed 4 years ago

brianherbert commented 4 years ago

Adds some additional details that can be returned for FedEx shipments.

As an aside, this got me thinking that a lot of data is being tossed out so it might actually make sense to provide the full response back in some way, although that seems to drift away from the spirit of this abstraction as a normalized interface across services.

Hey @brianherbert ,

thanks a ton for your contribution. Since we don't work with FedEx I don't really have much insight what's going on on their end, so this is really appreciated!

Good call on making the whole response / more data available. When I startet this project, the scraped data was actually all there was so it wouldn't make much sense. But by now most of the data come from real JSON APIs and there is a lot that just gets dropped for sure, so this would totally make sense.

Will definitely work on improving that. Thanks so much for your feedback!
