DHL Germany Tracking API

Track DHL Germany packages with WhereParcel's unified tracking API. Support for DHL Paket, DHL Express, and all German DHL services.

Quick Start

Track DHL Germany packages with a single API call:

curl -X POST https://api.whereparcel.com/v2/track \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_SECRET_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "trackingItems": [{
      "carrier": "de.dhl",
      "trackingNumber": "00340434161094042557"
    }]
  }'

DHL Germany Tracking Number Formats

Service	Format	Example
DHL Paket	`00340434XXXXXXXXXXXX (20 digits)`	`00340434161094042557`

Code Examples

JavaScript / Node.js

const response = await fetch('https://api.whereparcel.com/v2/track', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}:${SECRET_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    trackingItems: [{
      carrier: 'de.dhl',
      trackingNumber: '00340434161094042557',
    }],
  }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.trackingItems[0].status);
// → "in_transit", "delivered", etc.

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.whereparcel.com/v2/track',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}:{SECRET_KEY}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    json={
        'trackingItems': [{
            'carrier': 'de.dhl',
            'trackingNumber': '00340434161094042557',
        }],
    },
)

data = response.json()
print(data['trackingItems'][0]['status'])

Real-Time Updates with Webhooks

Instead of polling, register a webhook to receive DHL Germany status updates automatically. Each tracking number counts as just 1 request — no matter how many status changes occur.

// Register a webhook endpoint
await fetch('https://api.whereparcel.com/v2/webhook-endpoints', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${API_KEY}:${SECRET_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    url: 'https://yourapp.com/webhooks/tracking',
    description: 'DHL Germany tracking updates',
  }),
});
