FedEx REST API and OAuth Migration Guide (Desktop)


Introduction to FedEx REST API and Oauth Migration

FedEx® (Federal Express Corporation) has improved its APIs and OAuth process to access these REST APIs. Their process now uses OAuth (Open Authorization) 2.0, allowing Descartes ShipRush Desktop to connect to FedEx without sharing credentials. The Descartes ShipRush Desktop application has been modified to accommodate the new FedEx authorization process and connection.

This section provides step-by-step instructions for migrating to the new APIs for your FedEx account (s) in Descartes ShipRush Desktop.

Tip: Please contact us if you have questions about migrating to the new FedEx connection and authorization process.
