How do I get FedEx tracking data from an API?

FedEx's Track API is POST /track/v1/trackingnumbers with up to 30 numbers, after you create a FedEx Developer Portal project and get an OAuth token. lastscanned returns FedEx tracking as JSON from GET /v1/track/{number} with one Bearer key, takes up to 35 FedEx numbers per request, and gives estimated delivery in UTC when FedEx sends a zone. Pro is $4.99/mo for 1,000 unique numbers, then $0.015 each, with no daily limit. A free key tracks 5 numbers a day. With no key you get 1 lookup a day, then pay per request over MPP: $0.50 by card for a 25-number pack, or $0.02 a number in USDC on Tempo.

Try it

curl: one FedEx number
curl "https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/873970594430" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_YOUR_KEY"
Node: estimated delivery and newest scan
const res = await fetch("https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/873970594430", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LASTSCANNED_KEY}` },
});
const t = await res.json();
console.log(t.status, t.statusDescription);
console.log(t.estimatedDelivery);   // as FedEx printed it, no zone
console.log(t.estimatedDeliveryAt); // the same moment in UTC (FedEx gives the zone)
console.log(t.events[0]);           // newest scan first

Details

Developer project or one key

FedEx's API needs a Developer Portal project, API credentials and an OAuth token. lastscanned takes one Bearer key that also covers UPS, USPS and the other carriers.

Scan times you can sort by

FedEx gives a zone with each scan, so every event's timestamp converts to UTC exactly, and localTime keeps the time as FedEx printed it.

Delivered numbers

FedEx asks integrators to drop delivered numbers from repeat batches. Watches do that for you: a watch ends on delivered, and on Pro re-checks before then are free.

History FedEx keeps

FedEx says tracking information is available for 90 days after delivery for Express, Ground and Custom Critical shipments.
