A Brief Documentation

First you should read the official aramex documentation, understand the flow of their API's and parameters and decide the main puroposes of using aramex API.
doucmentation link: https://www.aramex.com/docs/default-source/resourses/resourcesdata/shipping-services-api-manual.pdf

You can use the Aramex interface through:

use Shipper\Aramex\Aramex;

or add it to Aliases in config/app.php file

'Aramex' => Shipper\Aramex\Aramex::class,

then

  use Aramex;

However, The integration has 7 main functions:
- Create Pickup.
- Cancel Pickup.
- Create Shipment.
- Calculate Rate.
- Track Shipments.
- Fetch Countries.
- Fetch Cities.
- Validate Address.

Create Pickup Method

takes array of parameters

return stdClass :

     {
      "error": 0,
      "pickupGUID": "4e29b471-0ed8-4ba8-ac0e-fddedfb6beec",

     }
     in case of error
     {
      "error": 1,
      "errors": [
        // Aramex's response errors
      ]
     }

Calculate Rate

Calculate Rate API is used to get shipment pricing and details before you ship it.

it takes 4 parameters:
Aramex::calculateRate($originAddress, $destinationAddress, $shipementDetails, $currency)

$originAddress and $destinationAddress are both arrays as follows:

    [
        'line1' => 'String|Required',
        'line2' => 'String',
        'line3' => 'String',
        'city' => 'String|Required',
        'state_code' => 'String',
        'postal_code' => 'String',
        'country_code' => 'String|max:2|min:2|Required',
        'longitude' => 'Double',
        'latitude' => 'Double',
        'building_number' => 'String',
        'building_name' => 'String',
    ]

The $shipmentDetails parameter is an array describes some details about the shipment as follows:

    [
        'payment_type' => '', // default value in config file
        'product_group' => '', // default value in config file
        'product_type' => '', // default value in config file
        'weight' => 5.2, // IN KG (Kilograms)
        'number_of_pieces' => 'Integer|Required',
        'height' => 5, // Dimensions in CM (optional)
        'width' => 3,  // Dimensions in CM (optional)
        'length' => 2  // Dimensions in CM (optional)
    ]

The $currency is a string (3 Chars) for prefered currency calculations like USD,AED,EUR,KWD and so on.
Note that in case you want pass the dimensions, it will not take the parameters unless you pass all the height, width, length.

Sample Code

        $originAddress = [
            'line1' => 'Test string',
            'city' => 'Amman',
            'country_code' => 'JO'
        ];

        $destinationAddress = [
            'line1' => 'Test String',
            'city' => 'Dubai',
            'country_code' => 'AE'
        ];

        $shipmentDetails = [
            'weight' => 5, // KG
            'number_of_pieces' => 2,
            'payment_type' => 'P', // if u don't pass it, it will take the config default value
            'product_group' => 'EXP', // if u don't pass it, it will take the config default value
            'product_type' => 'PPX', // if u don't pass it, it will take the config default value
            'height' => 5.5, // CM
            'width' => 3,  // CM
            'length' => 2.3  // CM
        ];

        $shipmentDetails = [
            'weight' => 5, // KG
            'number_of_pieces' => 2,
        ];

        $currency = 'USD';
        $data = Aramex::calculateRate($originAddress, $destinationAddress , $shipmentDetails , 'USD');

        if(!$data->error){
          dd($data);
        }
        else{
          // handle $data->errors
        }

Track Shipments

This service show the detailed updates on the shipments you created.
Aramex::trackShipments($arrayOfShipmentIds);
Basically get the IDs of the created shipments ($createShipmentResults->Shipments->ProcessedShipment->ID) and stack the IDs in an array and pass the array to the function.

        $shipments = [
            $createShipmentResults->Shipments->ProcessedShipment->ID,
            $anotherCreateShipmentResults->Shipments->ProcessedShipment->ID,
        ];

        $data = Aramex::trackShipments($shipments);

Sample Code

        $shipments = [
            $createShipmentResults->Shipments->ProcessedShipment->ID,
            $anotherCreateShipmentResults->Shipments->ProcessedShipment->ID,
        ];

        $data = Aramex::trackShipments($shipments);

        if (!$data->error){
          // Code Here
        }
        else {
        // handle error
        }

Fetch Countries

Fetching Aramex's Countries that is supported by Aramex and stored in their database.
You can either get all countries or get specific country information by passing country code as an optional parameter.
Please note that i recommend to call this method and insert all the response to your database so you can get the countries from your database and it is based on their countries so you don't waste time and make it unefficient by calling this API whenever you want to process countries data.

        $data = Aramex::fetchCountries($countryCode);
