Requesting many tracking numbers with Fedex SOAP API with PHP


I'm looking to cache all Fedex tracking information in my own database, and my company has around 150+ tracking numbers a day. According to this link,

http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/product/WebServices/MyWebHelp_August2010/Content/Proprietary_Developer_Guide/tTracking_and_Visibility_Services_condtionalized.htm

Fedex services do not support batch processing ? Does that mean I'd need to do single calls for every tracking number ? I took about 80 seconds for one days worth of sales doing it that way.

Is there no better option currently ? Or is there a better way or process for doing this ?


Solution

  • Yes, you need to send each track as a separate request. Run it as a server-side process via a schedule, who cares how long it takes then!?
