Good morning all, I have a little background in php and magento.. I got a store up and running.. but i ran into an issue.. my local shipping company has its own shipping api so i cant use a standard shipping module like fedex or ups or dhl.
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to a guide that i can read and learn how to make the shipping module i need to interact with the shipping companys API

Hope this helps you
Inchoo guys explained in detail in this blog. But it require some modification.
Instead of getExpressRate and standardRate function you have to call the third party API using Varien_Http_Adapter_Curl class for example and extract the data and then set the same in price.
