FedEx's licensing prohibits distribution of software for integrating with
their service.
In other words: You can write it for yourself, but you can't give what you
did to anyone else. Needless to say, this has a chilling effect on anyone
who would be interested in writing such a tag, since they would not be
allowed to distribute it. (I wanted to, but with that kind of restriction,
no way.)
FedEx also requires that any software you write that interfaces with their
systems be certified by them.
InterShipper has separate arrangements with FedEx that lets them do what
they do.

Subject: Anyone integrated CF w/ FedEx API?
While the Intershipper tag looks like the way to go for grabbing shipping
charges on the fly, I
noticed on FedEx's site that they offer an API package for full
integration.
I'm not interested in full integration as we have another shipping package
for all that, but I am
interested in the potential for realtime price grabbing with it.
Has anyone worked with writing a tag or two to integrate with the FedEx
API?
