Use of service
Event log API v1 is used to receive all events registered for a tracking reference or shipment number. If you wish to get meta data about the parcel (shop, delivery method ect.) in addition to the events, use the more extensive version Parcel Event Log V2.
Events are static data points and do not contain personal.
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 Parcel events push notification.
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-1/fetch/{identifier}/{locale}/{onlyLastEvent} |

PRODUCTION GET | https://ws.di.no/ws/json/parcel/tracking/v-1/fetch/{identifier}/{locale}/{onlyLastEvent} |
Authentication
This endpoint requires the user to be authenticated. Refer to the documentation here for more information on how to obtain a valid token to use in your request.
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.

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.
Events may be added at a later time than the timestamp indicates, the client should handle this
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.

Error handling
API requests that result in errors will return an appropriate HTTP status code to help you identify the type of error. You can use the table below to understand what each code means. og search online with the HTTP status code. The HTTP error keys used are based on the standard, and therefore available online (Tips to search “HTTP code XXX”)
In addition to HTTP status there may be more details in the errorKey field. Error Keys can be added at a later stage, clients should handle this as well as an empty value for errorKey.
HTTP Status code | Text | Description |
|---|---|---|
400 | Client or Validation Error | The request body/query string is not in the correct format. |
401 | Authentication Failure | Indicates that the Authorization header is either missing or incorrect. You can learn more about the Authorization header here. |
403 | Access denied | This indicates that the agent whose credentials were used in making this request was not authorized to perform this API call. It could be that you do not have access to the shop or transportsolution you provided in your request. If you believe this is a mistake, please reach out to your contact so it can be rectified. |
405 | Method not allowed | This API request used the wrong HTTP verb/method. For example a PUT request will result in this error. |
4xx | Client error | Generally receiving an error code that starts with 4 indicates that the client needs to change something. |
500 | Unexpected Server Error | Oops! This may indicates an error on our side. Please try again, if the error continues notify your contact person |
Error response
In addition to the HTTP status code, most errors will also return a response body that contains more information to help you debug the error. A sample error response is shown below. The format of the error response body is explained after the example.
Sample error
Field | Description |
|---|---|
statusCode | The HTTP code associated with this error. |
errorKey | A machine parseable error code. |
