}About the dpdgroup.com API
The DPD Group API provides 4 endpoints covering parcel shop discovery, location details, country partner listings, and network coverage statistics across Europe. The search_parcel_shops endpoint accepts a postcode or city name and returns shop names, addresses, GPS coordinates, distances, and types — letting you build location-aware shipping tools without manual lookups.
Parcel Shop Search and Details
The search_parcel_shops endpoint takes a query parameter (postcode or city, e.g. '10115' for Berlin) and an optional filter_type of 'parcelshop' or 'station'. Each result in the shops array includes a shop id, an index value, name, address, distance, coordinates, and type. The total_found integer tells you how many locations matched. To retrieve full details for a specific result, pass the same query and the two-digit shop_index (e.g. '01') to get_parcel_shop_details, which returns opening_hours as a day-by-day array, a services list, and the DPD location_id.
Partner Network and Coverage
get_country_partners returns a complete array of DPD partner brands organized by region — Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe — with each entry including the brand name and its country-specific url. No parameters are required. get_parcelshop_network_stats similarly requires no inputs and returns three headline figures: coverage_countries, europe_total_points (combined parcel shops and lockers), and germany_pickup_points. These figures reflect DPD's self-reported network scale.
Data Shape and Coupling
Shop details in get_parcel_shop_details depend on the shop_index produced by a prior search_parcel_shops call — the index is positional within those results, not a globally stable identifier. Store the location_id from the detail response if you need a persistent reference. The filter_type parameter in search is the only filtering dimension available; there is no radius, country-code, or service-type filter at the search stage.
- Embed a 'find nearest DPD Pickup point' widget in a checkout flow using coordinates from search_parcel_shops
- Display opening hours for a specific parcel shop alongside a shipment tracking page using get_parcel_shop_details
- Build a coverage map of DPD's European network using the europe_total_points figure from get_parcelshop_network_stats
- Populate a country-selector UI with DPD partner brand links from get_country_partners
- Filter search results to lockers only by passing filter_type='station' for contactless drop-off flows
- Compare parcel shop density by city by querying multiple postcodes and aggregating total_found counts
