Usage

• First of all, you need to create a credentials variable. This is a hash that contains your credentials for accessing the FedEx API.

credentials = {
  key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  password: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  account_number: "xxxxxxxxx",
  meter_number: "xxxxxxxxx"
}

• Now, create a new variable with the info for delivery, like:

quote_params = {
  address_from: {
         zip: "64000",
         country: "MX"
  },
     address_to: {
         zip: "64000",
         country: "MX"
  },
     parcel: {
         length: 25.0,
         width: 28.0,
         height: 46.0,
         distance_unit: "cm",
         weight: 6.5,
         mass_unit: "kg"
  }
}

• Once the credentials are set, you can use the Fedexvichuge class to access the FedEx API. Just type on the console Fedex::Rates.get(credentials, quote_params) and you'll get the response from the API with the rates on different service levels.
