DHL Freight
European Road and Rail Freight
Use DHL Freight's Road Freight APIs to create your road freight order/booking and receive your barcode labels for your road freight shipments.
For public tracking you can use the UTAPI - Shipment Tracking Unified API, that allows you to track your shipment across all DHL Group Business Units (including DHL Freight).
Please note that the APIs on these pages belong solely to DHL Freight.
To start using DHL Freight APIs, please validate below pre-conditions:
- You already must have an commercial contract which has account with DHL Freight (a so called Invoice Address ID), your freight product codes and your additional services names. Assure yourself you have this already. If not, please get in contact with your country sales representatives or DHL Freight Customer Service.
- For now, below Booking related API's only apply to standard domestic and international road freight products inside Europe. For Sweden domestic transports and for Sweden Parcel products, please go here: Sweden API Farm.
- Sales Invoice Push API can be used independently for all invoices you received from DHL Freight. Since this is a push API with different logic, do not combine this API in your APP with below described transportation related API's.
- Your technical setup, operational setup and acceptance tests should be done first in Sandbox environment of DHL Developer Portal. Once all done, you have to handshake with your country sales representatives, country API on-boarder or Customer Service about go-live date and any other preparations if needs.
Each of below DHL Freight API has been described in more detail on the respective API Reference pages in below list
Best for:
- Providing access to the shipment status at any time
- Integrating all types of Deutsche Post DHL shipments
- Multipleshipments (e.g. eCommerce, Express, Freight, Letter, Parcel, etc.)

Here are some tips that'll show you, how to navigate through the Developer Portal to find the APIs, fitting best to your business:
Browse API catalog:
Filtering APIs: If you browse through the API catalog you can use the left side filter navigation to enclose the shown APIs.
If you know the Division in which the product your API serves lies, please check the Division box to filter the APIs (e.g. DHL Freight). Another common way is to filter APIs by Service Type (e.g. Location / Shipping / Transportation / Tracking).
APIs Business Use Cases: Now, that you have filtered the APIs to a smaller amount, you should have a closer look at the API Teaser. The section "Best for" explains the business use case of the API and you'll find also the geographical location, where the API is available. You can find even more information of the API use case.
