// landed themselves in a middle circle of hell.

I'm either really smart, or really stupid - because getting the fedex api to work using nodeJS / SOAP was a NIGHTMARE - but I did it.

I've searched high and low, and there's literally no example on the whole internet (I read the whole internet) of a FedEx Rates API Request, using NodeJS / SOAP, that works.

Here it is. You may need to npm i soap before running. God help you if this doesn't work, because fedex doesn't actually want people using their APIs

Have been pulling my hair out for the past two days! God bless you for posting this gist! I am trying to implement the Process Shipment Request which is very similar... I would only wish working with this WSDL library to my worst enemy. I will follow up if I can get it working!

Make sure to change "Major": "24", to the corresponding wsdl file. var url = 'fedex-api/RateService/RateService_v24.wsdl'

For example, I downloaded RateService_v28.wsdl so I changed mine to "Major": "28",

Thanks @wrimik
