Fedex & UPS implementation

I've been looking for a Ruby implementation of Fedex and UPS.

I've been through their documentation, and think it's really overcomplicated (I'm a bit of a ruby "newbie" myself), so was looking for something simpler. I would only like to use the tracking function.

Has anyone ever worked with something like that and could point me to the right direction on how to implement this?

Try Shopify's active_shipping plugin. It supports UPS, USPS, and FedEx. The developers are planning on adding tracking support (according to the readme), but support is already provided for FedEx tracking:

fdx = FedEx.new(:login => '999999999', :password => '7777777')
tracking_info = fdx.find_tracking_info('tracking number here', :carrier_code => 'fedex_ground') # Ground package

tracking_info.shipment_events.each do |event|
  puts "#{event.name} at #{event.location.city}, #{event.location.state} on #{event.time}. #{event.message}"
end
# => Package information transmitted to FedEx at NASHVILLE LOCAL, TN on Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 UTC 2008. 
# Picked up by FedEx at NASHVILLE LOCAL, TN on Thu Oct 23 17:30:00 UTC 2008.
