Answer 1

Quick and dirty without any third party lib and using official API:

' );
$shipmentids = array(
    '00340434161094015902' // in sandbox only special numbers are allowed
);


$opts = array(
    'http' => array(
        'method' => "GET",
        'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode( "$username:$password" )
    )
);

$context = stream_context_create( $opts );


foreach ( $shipmentids as $shipmentid ) {
    $payload->attributes()->{'piece-code'} = $shipmentid;
    $response                              = file_get_contents( $endpoint . '?' . http_build_query( array( 'xml' => $payload->saveXML() ) ), false, $context );
    $responseXml                           = simplexml_load_string( $response );
    $status                                = null;

    // get last state
    foreach ( $responseXml->data->data->data as $event ) {
        $status = $event->attributes()->{'event-short-status'};
    }

    echo "Shipment " . $shipmentid . " is in state: " . $status . "\n";
}
