The benefits of our new APIs
Our renewed API’s make your integration smarter and faster. Below you’ll see what each API domain offers and the benefits.
Checkout APIs: delivery time and location
Benefits:
- Faster response time: your customer sees options more quickly.
- Uniform structure: easier to connect with other APIs.
- Clear delivery options: transparent overview of delivery times and locations.
The Timeframe API v4 shows available delivery slots and expected delivery times. The Location API v4 shows where your customer can pick up the parcel.
Warehouse APIs: outbound and returns
Benefits:
- Clear product names: work faster and avoid errors by no longer using complex codes.
- Flexible labels: choose portrait or landscape and the file type that fits your printer.
- Better aligned with our processes: terminology matches your contracts and invoicing, making it clearer.
- Separate returns: with the new Return API v4, returns are handled separately.
The renewed Warehouse APIs are Shipment API v4, Return API v4, Labelling API v4, Confirming API v4 and Barcode API v4.
Track & Trace integrations: improved status updates
Benefits:
- Lightning fast: receive updates via Webhook or API, so you’re immediately informed of any change.
- Efficient: you only get notified when something really changes, saving unnecessary costs.
- Secure: connect via modern standards to keep your data protected.
- Simple: from 250+ statuses down to 25, plus more relevant information.
The Track & Trace integrations – ShippingStatus API v4 and Tracking Webhook v1 – are still in development. For now, continue using the current ShippingStatus API.
General improvements for all our APIs
