Overview
This node provides integration with Fedex services within n8n workflows. It allows users to configure request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout to customize how requests to Fedex APIs are made. This node is useful for automating shipping, tracking, and other Fedex-related operations in business processes.
Use Case Examples
- Automate shipment label creation by sending batch requests to Fedex API with controlled batch size and interval.
- Track multiple Fedex shipments by configuring batching to avoid hitting API rate limits.
- Use proxy settings to route Fedex API requests through a corporate proxy server.
- Ignore SSL certificate issues when connecting to Fedex API in development or testing environments.

Output
JSON
operation- The Fedex operation performed.resource- The Fedex resource involved in the operation.data- The response data returned from the Fedex API.
Dependencies
- Requires Fedex API credentials for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- If requests fail due to SSL errors, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass certificate validation (not recommended for production).
- Batching settings must be configured correctly to avoid hitting API rate limits or causing delays.
- Ensure proxy URL is correctly formatted if using a proxy; incorrect proxy settings can cause connection failures.
- Timeout should be set appropriately to avoid premature request abortion or long waits.
