FedEx

FedEx is a logistics company that provides shipping and delivery services worldwide. They offer a range of solutions for individuals and businesses, including express shipping, freight services, and e-commerce fulfillment. FedEx publishes a suite of REST APIs covering tracking, shipping, rating, address validation, pickup, locator, trade documents, and post-shipment visibility through their developer portal.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles FedEx the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — FedEx scores 39.2/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile FedEx

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for FedEx. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

FedEx Track API

Track API allows customers and partners to retrieve up-to-the-minute package and shipment status, scan events, delivery details, and proof of delivery using tracking numbers, re...

FedEx Ship API

Ship API lets developers create domestic and international shipments, generate shipping labels, validate addresses, schedule pickups, and manage end-to-end shipment workflows pr...

FedEx Rate API

Rate API returns rate quotes and transit times for FedEx Express, Ground, Freight, and SmartPost services so applications can present pricing and delivery options at checkout or...

FedEx Address Validation API

Address Validation API verifies postal addresses for deliverability, classifies them as residential or commercial, and corrects common formatting and spelling issues prior to sh...

FedEx Pickup API

Pickup API provides programmatic access to schedule, modify, and cancel package pickups, and to determine pickup availability for a given origin and service combination.

FedEx Locations API

Locations API helps applications find FedEx Office, FedEx Ship Center, drop boxes, and authorized ship centers near a given address or coordinate, including hours of operation a...

FedEx Authorization API

Authorization API issues OAuth 2.0 access tokens used to authenticate all other FedEx API calls. Tokens are obtained via client credentials generated from a FedEx Developer Port...

FedEx Shipment Visibility Webhook

Shipment Visibility Webhook pushes near real-time tracking events to a registered HTTPS endpoint, eliminating the need to repeatedly poll the Track API for shipment status changes.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Features 3

The notable capabilities this provider advertises, captured as structured features so they can be searched and compared instead of read one landing page at a time.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

FedEx: API access via partner / B2B contracts only
No public API pricing published — contact enterprise sales
FedEx Developer Portal APIs (Ship, Rate, Track, Address Validation) require an account; rates vary by ship date / weight / zone.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
