Unified APIs are our solution if you are looking for an API that covers multiple DHL Group divisions.
The DHL Group comprises five operating divisions: Post & Paket Deutschland, Express, Global Forwarding / Freight, Supply Chain, and eCommerce.
Currently, we offer the following 2 Unified APIs in the API Developer Portal:
1) Shipment Tracking - Unified - covers the following DHL Group divisions:
- Post & Parcel Germany (incl. mail/letter tracking)

Although the unified APIs cover most DHL Group divisions and aggregate data from different sources, it is recommended to use the divisional APIs (i.e MyDHL, eCS EU..) for a higher level of detail and accuracy for tracking shipments, especially for users having shipments handled by one division only.
