Purpose and use of service
The API provides a list of future distribution dates that have coverage for delivery or pickup of a product for the specified address. The product are determined from the Freight Product (freightProductId
). The remaining fields along with the customer name field will be used to lookup the address.
The coverage check is based on the coverage available from the carrier. We continuously receive updated information from the carrier, and therefore the delivery option result may vary with time
To determine coverage we also look at previous shipment to similar addresses and consumers, this help correct misspellings and find coverage.
Integration tips
We recommend to always include all information you have available, and use the same information in other APIs to ensure the results are consistent
For delivery address where there are households and businesses it is necessary to specify household number, e.g. H0201, in order for the system to know which of the options you want

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
.
