To begin testing DHL APIs, you need to register in API Farm and create an application.<\/p>\n

This allows you to:
\n\u2013 access API credentials
\n\u2013 test your integration in sandbox
\n\u2013 use Swagger and Postman tools<\/p>\n

\n
1. Registration \u2013 Sandbox (test environment)<\/span><\/h5>\n

Use the sandbox environment to develop and test your integration. No real shipments are created and no charges are applied.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to API Farm test environment: test-admin.freight-logistics.dhl.com<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Click Sign up<\/strong> and fill in your user details.<\/li>\n
  3. Confirm your registration via the email from apifarm@dhl.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Log in<\/strong> to API Farm.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to Organisations<\/strong> -> click Create new organisation<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Enter your company details and create the organisation.<\/li>\n
  7. Go to Applications<\/strong> -> click Register new application<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Enter application details and click Register<\/strong> to save.
    \nYour API key (client-key) will be shown on the screen only once<\/strong> \u2013 save it securely!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Organisation vs Application<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Organisation<\/strong> = your company
    \nApplication<\/strong> = the system you are integrating (e.g. your WMS, webshop or TMS)<\/p>\n

    You need one organisation and one application to get an API key.<\/p>\n

    After registration, you can test your integration using Swagger and Postman collections.<\/p>\n

    \n
    2. Going live \u2013 Production<\/span><\/h5>\n

    You cannot access production directly.<\/p>\n

    After completing sandbox testing, you must submit an Implementation Request. DHL will then prepare your production setup.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go to the production environment: admin.freight-logistics.dhl.com<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Sign up and repeat the steps to create your Organisation<\/strong> and Application<\/strong> to retrieve an production API-key.<\/li>\n
    3. Submit an Implementation Request<\/strong>.<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. DHL Freight will review your test data and activate your production API-key. At least one validated test request per API is required.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Important:<\/strong> Production APIs create real shipment data. Approval is mandatory before use.<\/p>\n

      Product Rules:<\/strong>
      \nTo understand product limitations and requirements, see the       Product Manual<\/a> or use the\u00a0Product API<\/a> for dynamic rule checks.<\/p>\n

      Cancellations:<\/strong>
      \nYou cannot cancel transports via API or EDI. Cancel in your system and contact DHL Customer Service at 0771-345 345 with your booking\/shipment number.<\/p>\n

      High Volumes:<\/strong>
      \nFor more than 10,000 shipments\/day, traditional EDI may be more efficient. Contact DHL Freight to discuss.<\/span><\/p>\n
