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 test API endpoints in Swagger or Postman<\/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 the API Farm sandbox: 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.<\/li>\n
  7. Go to Applications<\/strong> -> click Register new application<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Enter application details and register.
    \n<\/strong>Your API key (client-key) is shown only once<\/strong> \u2013 save it securely.
    \nUse this key for authentication when testing endpoints in Swagger or Postman.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Start with a simple API such as PostalCodes or ServicePointLocator to verify your setup.<\/p>\n

    Organisation vs Application:
    \n<\/strong>Organisation = your company
    \nApplication = 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

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

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

    After testing in sandbox, 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 a production API key.<\/li>\n
    3. Submit an Implementation Request<\/strong>.<\/a><\/li>\n
    4. DHL Freight will review your test requests and activate your production API key. At least one successful test per API is required.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Production APIs create real shipment data. Approval is required before using production APIs.<\/p>\n

      \n
      3. Base URLs<\/span><\/h5>\n

      Use the sandbox URL for all testing.<\/p>\n

      Sandbox: https:\/\/test-api.freight-logistics.dhl.com<\/a>
      \nProduction:       https:\/\/api.freight-logistics.dhl.com<\/a><\/p>\n

      5. Additional Notes<\/span><\/p>\n

      Product requirements:<\/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 (0771-345 345) with your shipment number.<\/p>\n

      High Volumes:<\/strong>
      \nFor volumes above 10,000 shipments\/day, EDI may be more efficient. Contact DHL Freight for guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n
