Fatal error when tracking FedEx package #30

Open s22-tech opened 2 years ago

s22-tech commented 2 years ago

Using a very simple test script:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Sauladam\ShipmentTracker\ShipmentTracker;

$tracker = ShipmentTracker::get('FedEx');
$track = $tracker->track('123456789123');

it returns the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Could not fetch tracking data for [123456789123]. in /Users/php/track/sauladam/vendor/sauladam/shipment-tracker/src/Trackers/Fedex.php:30

Any idea what's going wrong?

Thanks

I installed the php-fedex-api-wrapper from Jeremy Dunn and that one works for me, so the problem I described above isn't with my account info.

According to https://gist.github.com/Ajithkumarsekar/10b5733173613865a69a43439487c2fe?permalink_comment_id=4105182#gistcomment-4105182 FedEx has completely turned down that API endpoint. They do have an OAuth-authenticated new API to use instead, but I have not personally tried signing up for it yet, and... yeah, API tokens. The library the OP linked in their second post requires those, so I think they're fine, at least.

Some of the couriers that offer API keys don't offer them to private individuals, only businesses; let's just hope this isn't one of them.

I can understand the desire to prevent abuse and data mining but this is getting really annoying. I don't want emails and text messages. I want a nice human-readable plain-text table that lists the status and estimate of all the shipments I'm expecting as a private individual non-business recipient from multiple couriers aggregated together on my computer. Apparently that's too much to ask nowadays, and I will not easily believe humanity is so brain-rotted by text message updates that I am alone in this.
