Setup
Example | |
|---|---|
Username (see Authentication section) | wsfoobar |
Password (see Authentication section) | a-very-very-long-password |
The user is a web service user
The user has access to the web service for labels
The user has access to the shop registered on the parcel
Environments / endpoints
TEST GET | https://staging-ws.di.no/ws/json/parcel/label/v-1/labels/{identifier}/{labelType} |
|---|---|
PRODUCTION GET | https://ws.di.no/ws/json/parcel/label/v-1/labels/{identifier}/{labelType} |
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
The shipment must be registered before the label is available. If registering a shipment (e.g. through the Parcel Booking API ) and fetching label is done in one action we recommend you verify a successful respons from the registration before you make a request to the label API. If registrering the parcel is done through file or other formats we recommend a longer latency.

If shipmentId is specified the response will return a file containing one page pr. item for that shipment
If trackingReference is specified the response will return a file containing one page for that item

Response time for ZPL format is significantly slower than other formats
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 |

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.

{
"statusCode": 401,
"errorKey": "authentication.missing",
