What is it?

The HomeDeliveryLocator API is used with the “DHL Home Delivery” product. It helps you find out which extra services are available for a specific home delivery, based on the recipient’s postal code and sometimes the DHL account number.

What can you do with it?

Check which additional services you can offer for a home delivery to a specific address.

Get the correct product code to use, depending on whether DHL or an external partner handles the delivery.

For some deliveries, you’ll also get the address of the external terminal to use in your shipment data.

Why use it?

Ensures you always use the right product code and services for each home delivery.

Required for all DHL Home Delivery shipments.

Special notes:

For returns, you must print an extra label for the customer (using the Print API).

The API tells you exactly which product code and address to use in other DHL APIs.
