Use of service

Event log API v2 is an extensive API used to receive all events registered for a tracking reference or shipment number, in addition to meta data about the parcel (shop, delivery method ect.). If you only wish to see all registrered events use Parcel Event Log V1.

Events are static data points and do not contain personal or variable data points.

There are three access levels for the event log API. The level is configured per web service user, ask you contact person if you have questions about your access.
The different levels give access to different events, and may have different wording (description) for the same event to communicate

  • Public access

  • Web shop access

  • Distribution access

If you wish to track a batch of shipments and get live updates for all new tracking events use the push service https://jira-di.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DIPUB/pages/968622088.
We reserve the right to limit users who misuse this service.

Environments / endpoints

TEST GET

https://staging-ws.di.no/ws/json/parcel/tracking/v-2/fetch/{identifier}/{locale}/{onlyLastEvent}

PRODUCTION GET

https://ws.di.no/ws/json/parcel/tracking/v-2/fetch/{identifier}/{locale}/{onlyLastEvent}

Making a request

  • Clients using this API should not fail if new fields are added to the response. If a new field is added to the response on a later stage, existing clients should handle this in a way such as they just ignore the field.

  • Fields not set in the response are not left out, that is fields in the response may have null values. E.g. "shipmentNumber": null. The client using the endpoint should handle this.  

  • For shipments older than 6 months no events will be available, only latest status

Curl request example

Response

  • New events and changes to existing events can be done at any time. Clients using this API should not fail if new API keys or IDs are added (events, event groups, additional info)

  • Duplicate events may occur on a rare occasion. The technology used to communicate events between different sources have an error margin below 0.001%, which may result in duplicates.

The API will respond with a list of shipments relevant for the request. The response may contain events for one or several parcels. The respons will contain events for several parcels if the shipment number specified in the request contains several parcels/items or if one of the parcels has had a change of delivery method (freightproduct). If the same physical parcel/item changes delivery method it will receive a new tracking reference and shipment number, and the IDs will be linked with the original identifications.

In those cases the "linkedParcelNumber" under shipment items will link to the tracking reference in the "new" shipment.
