Complete Guide: Implementing Aramex API in Node.js for Order Creation and Tracking

By /

Introduction

In today’s e-commerce landscape, efficient shipping and logistics management is crucial for business success. Aramex, one of the leading logistics providers in the Middle East and South Asia, offers robust APIs that allow developers to integrate shipping functionalities directly into their applications. This comprehensive guide will walk you through implementing the Aramex API in a Node.js application, covering everything from initial setup to order creation and tracking.

Whether you’re building an e-commerce platform, marketplace, or any application that requires shipping integration, this step-by-step tutorial will provide you with the knowledge and practical implementation details needed to successfully integrate Aramex services into your Node.js application.

What is Aramex API?

Aramex provides a comprehensive set of RESTful APIs and SOAP web services that enable developers to access their shipping and logistics services programmatically. The API suite includes:

  • Shipping API: Create shipments, calculate rates, and generate shipping labels
  • Tracking API: Track shipments in real-time and get delivery status updates
  • Location Services: Get cities, countries, and service availability information
  • Rate Calculator: Calculate shipping costs based on origin, destination, and package details

Key Benefits of Aramex API Integration

  1. Automated Shipping Process: Streamline order fulfillment by automatically creating shipments
  2. Real-time Tracking: Provide customers with live tracking information
  3. Cost Calculation: Get accurate shipping rates before order confirmation
  4. Label Generation: Automatically generate and print shipping labels
  5. Global Coverage: Access Aramex’s extensive network across multiple countries

Prerequisites and Setup

Before we dive into the implementation, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

System Requirements

  • Node.js (version 14 or higher)
  • npm or yarn package manager
  • A valid Aramex developer account
  • Basic understanding of JavaScript and Node.js
  • Familiarity with REST APIs and HTTP requests

# Application Configuration
PORT=3000
NODE_ENV=development

Implementing the Aramex Service

Creating the Base Aramex Service

Let’s create the core service that will handle all Aramex API interactions. Create src/services/aramexService.js:

const axios = require('axios');
require('dotenv').config();

class AramexService {
  constructor() {
    this.username = process.env.ARAMEX_USERNAME;
    this.password = process.env.ARAMEX_PASSWORD;
    this.accountNumber = process.env.ARAMEX_ACCOUNTNUMBER;
    this.accountPin = process.env.ARAMEX_ACCOUNTPIN;
    this.accountEntity = process.env.ARAMEX_ACCOUNTENTITY;
    this.accountCountryCode = process.env.ARAMEX_ACCOUNTCOUNTRYCODE;
    this.apiUrl = process.env.ARAMEX_API_URL;
    this.trackingUrl = process.env.ARAMEX_TRACKING_URL;
    this.cityListUrl = process.env.ARAMEX_CITYLIST_API_URL;
  }

  // Get client information object for API requests
  getClientInfo() {
    return {
      UserName: this.username,
      Password: this.password,
      Version: 'v1',
      AccountNumber: this.accountNumber,
      AccountPin: this.accountPin,
      AccountEntity: this.accountEntity,
      AccountCountryCode: this.accountCountryCode,
      Source: 24
    };
  }

  // Format date for Aramex API
  formatDate(date) {
    return `\/Date(${date.getTime()})\/`;
  }

  // Clean phone number by removing country codes
  cleanPhoneNumber(phoneNumber) {
    if (!phoneNumber) return '';
    
    return phoneNumber.toString()
      .replace(/^\+?977/, '')
      .replace(/^\+?91/, '')
      .replace(/^977/, '')
      .replace(/^91/, '')
      .trim();
  }

  // Get list of cities from Aramex
  async getCityList() {
    try {
      const response = await axios.get(this.cityListUrl);
      return {
        success: true,
        data: response.data
      };
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching city list:', error.message);
      return {
        success: false,
        error: 'Failed to fetch city list',
        details: error.message
      };
    }
  }

  // Calculate shipping rate
  async calculateRate(originAddress, destinationAddress, shipmentDetails) {
    try {
      const url = `${this.apiUrl}/RateCalculator/Service_1_0.svc/json/CalculateRate`;
      
      const payload = {
        ClientInfo: this.getClientInfo(),
        OriginAddress: originAddress,
        DestinationAddress: destinationAddress,
        ShipmentDetails: shipmentDetails
      };

      const response = await axios.post(url, payload, {
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
      });

      if (response.data.HasErrors) {
        throw new Error(response.data.Notifications[0].Message);
      }

      return {
        success: true,
        data: response.data
      };
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error calculating rate:', error.message);
      return {
        success: false,
        error: 'Failed to calculate shipping rate',
        details: error.message
      };
    }
  }
}

module.exports = AramexService;

Creating Shipments with Aramex API

Implementing the Shipment Creation Method

Add the following method to your AramexService class:

// Create shipment
async createShipment(orderData) {
  try {
    const url = `${this.apiUrl}/shipping/Service_1_0.svc/json/CreateShipments`;
    
    // Validate required order data
    if (!orderData.customerName || !orderData.customerAddress || !orderData.customerMobile) {
      throw new Error('Missing required customer information');
    }

    // Clean phone numbers
    const cleanedPhone = this.cleanPhoneNumber(orderData.customerMobile);
    const cleanedAlternatePhone = this.cleanPhoneNumber(orderData.customerAlternateMobile);

    const shipmentPayload = {
      ClientInfo: this.getClientInfo(),
      LabelInfo: null,
      Shipments: [{
        Reference1: orderData.orderId || '',

}

Creating the Shipment Controller

Create src/controllers/shipmentController.js:

const AramexService = require('../services/aramexService');

class ShipmentController {
  constructor() {
    this.aramexService = new AramexService();
  }

  // Get list of available cities
  async getCities(req, res) {
    try {
      const result = await this.aramexService.getCityList();
      
      if (result.success) {

        Dimensions: dimensions || {
          Length: 10, Width: 10, Height: 10, Unit: 'CM'
        },
        CashOnDeliveryAmount: codAmount ? {
          CurrencyCode: 'NPR',
          Value: codAmount

  // Create a new shipment
  async createShipment(req, res) {
    try {
      const orderData = req.body;

      // Validate required fields
      const requiredFields = ['customerName', 'customerAddress', 'customerMobile', 'city'];
      const missingFields = requiredFields.filter(field => !orderData[field]);

      if (missingFields.length > 0) {

Implementing Order Tracking

Creating the Tracking Service

Create src/services/trackingService.js:

const axios = require('axios');
require('dotenv').config();

Creating the Tracking Controller

Create src/controllers/trackingController.js:

const TrackingService = require('../services/trackingService');

class TrackingController {
  constructor() {
    this.trackingService = new TrackingService();
  }

  // Track single shipment
  async trackShipment(req, res) {
    try {
      const { trackingNumber } = req.params;

      if (!trackingNumber) {
        return res.status(400).json({
          success: false,
          message: 'Tracking number is required'
        });
      }

      const result = await this.trackingService.trackShipment(trackingNumber);

      if (result.success) {
        const status = this.trackingService.getShipmentStatus(result.trackingData);
        
        res.status(200).json({
          success: true,
          trackingNumber: result.trackingNumber,
          status: status,
          trackingDetails: result.trackingData,
          lastUpdate: result.lastUpdate
        });
      } else {
        res.status(404).json({
          success: false,
          message: result.error || result.message,
          details: result.details
        });
      }
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(500).json({
        success: false,
        message: 'Internal server error',

          success: false,
          message: 'Array of tracking numbers is required'
        });
      }

      if (trackingNumbers.length > 50) {
        return res.status(400).json({
          success: false,
          message: 'Maximum 50 tracking numbers allowed per request'

          status: this.trackingService.getShipmentStatus(trackingData),
          trackingDetails: trackingData
        }));

        res.status(200).json({
          success: true,
          totalShipments: result.totalShipments,
          results: processedResults,

  // Get shipment status only
  async getShipmentStatus(req, res) {
    try {
      const { trackingNumber } = req.params;

      const result = await this.trackingService.trackShipment(trackingNumber);

      if (result.success) {
        const status = this.trackingService.getShipmentStatus(result.trackingData);
        
        res.status(200).json({
          success: true,
          trackingNumber: result.trackingNumber,
          status: status,
          lastUpdate: result.lastUpdate
        });
      } else {
        res.status(404).json({
          success: false,
          message: result.error || result.message

}

module.exports = new TrackingController();

Setting Up Express Application

Create src/app.js:

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
require('dotenv').config();

// Import controllers
const shipmentController = require('./controllers/shipmentController');
const trackingController = require('./controllers/trackingController');

const app = express();
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

// Middleware
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

// CORS middleware for development
app.use((req, res, next) => {
  res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
  res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
  res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization');
  
  if (req.method === 'OPTIONS') {
    res.sendStatus(200);
  } else {
    next();
  }
});

// Health check endpoint
app.get('/health', (req, res) => {
  res.status(200).json({
    success: true,
    message: 'Aramex API service is running',
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
  });
});

// Shipment routes
app.get('/api/cities', shipmentController.getCities.bind(shipmentController));
app.post('/api/calculate-rate', shipmentController.calculateRate.bind(shipmentController));
app.post('/api/create-shipment', shipmentController.createShipment.bind(shipmentController));

// Tracking routes
app.get('/api/track/:trackingNumber', trackingController.trackShipment.bind(trackingController));
app.post('/api/track-multiple', trackingController.trackMultipleShipments.bind(trackingController));
app.get('/api/status/:trackingNumber', trackingController.getShipmentStatus.bind(trackingController));

// Error handling middleware
app.use((err, req, res, next) => {
  console.error('Unhandled error:', err);
  res.status(500).json({
    success: false,
    message: 'Internal server error',
    details: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? err.message : 'Something went wrong'
  });
});

// 404 handler
app.use('*', (req, res) => {
  res.status(404).json({
    success: false,
    message: 'Endpoint not found'
  });
});

// Start server
app.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`🚀 Aramex API service is running on port ${PORT}`);
  console.log(`📍 Health check: http://localhost:${PORT}/health`);
  console.log(`📋 API Documentation:`);
  console.log(`   GET  /api/cities - Get available cities`);
  console.log(`   POST /api/calculate-rate - Calculate shipping rate`);
  console.log(`   POST /api/create-shipment - Create new shipment`);
  console.log(`   GET  /api/track/:trackingNumber - Track shipment`);
  console.log(`   POST /api/track-multiple - Track multiple shipments`);
  console.log(`   GET  /api/status/:trackingNumber - Get shipment status`);
});

module.exports = app;
