Features

The DHL Parcel DE Shipping API SDK supports the following features:

• Validate Shipment
• Create Shipment Order
• Delete Shipment Order

Authentication

The DHL Parcel DE Shipping API requires a two-level authentication (see API User Guide):

1. The application submits a Consumer Key Header ("API Key") that must be created in the DHL API Developer Portal.
2. The user is identified via HTTP Basic Authentication with credentials configured in the DHL Business Customer Portal.

These credentials are passed to the SDK via \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Api\Data\AuthenticationStorageInterface. Create your own or use the default implementation:

$authStorage = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Auth\AuthenticationStorage('apiKey', 'user', 'password');

Validate Shipment

Validate shipments for DHL Paket including the relevant shipping documents.

Public API

The library's components suitable for consumption comprise

• services:
  • service factory
  • shipment service
  • data transfer object builder
• data transfer objects:
  • authentication storage
  • order/label settings
  • validation result with status message

Usage

$logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger();

$serviceFactory = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Service\ServiceFactory();
$service = $serviceFactory->createShipmentService($authStorage, $logger, $sandbox = true);

$requestBuilder = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\RequestBuilder\ShipmentOrderRequestBuilder();
$requestBuilder->setShipperAccount($billingNumber = '33333333330101');
$requestBuilder->setShipperAddress(
    company: 'DHL',
    country: 'DEU',
    postalCode: '53113',
    city: 'Bonn',
    street: 'Charles-de-Gaulle-Straße',
    streetNumber: '20'
);
$requestBuilder->setRecipientAddress(
    recipientName: 'Jane Doe',
    recipientCountry: 'DEU',
    recipientPostalCode: '53113',
    recipientCity: 'Bonn',
    recipientStreet: 'Sträßchensweg',
    recipientStreetNumber: '2'
);
$requestBuilder->setShipmentDetails(productCode: 'V01PAK', shipmentDate: new \DateTimeImmutable('2023-02-23'));
$requestBuilder->setPackageDetails(weightInKg: 2.4);

$shipmentOrder = $requestBuilder->create();
$result = $service->validateShipments([$shipmentOrder]);

Create Shipment Order

Create shipments for DHL Paket including the relevant shipping documents. In addition to the primary shipment data (shipper, consignee, etc.), further settings can be defined per request via the order configuration object, including label printing size, profile, and more.

Public API

The library's components suitable for consumption comprise

• services:
  • service factory
  • shipment service
  • data transfer object builder
• data transfer objects:
  • authentication storage
  • order/label settings
  • shipment with shipment/tracking number and label(s)

Usage

$logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger();

$serviceFactory = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Service\ServiceFactory();
$service = $serviceFactory->createShipmentService($authStorage, $logger, sandbox: true);

$orderConfiguration = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Service\ShipmentService\OrderConfiguration(
    mustEncode: true,
    combinedPrinting: null,
    docFormat: \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Api\Data\OrderConfigurationInterface::DOC_FORMAT_PDF,
    printFormat: \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Api\Data\OrderConfigurationInterface::PRINT_FORMAT_A4
);

$requestBuilder = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\RequestBuilder\ShipmentOrderRequestBuilder();
$requestBuilder->setShipperAccount(billingNumber: '33333333330101');
$requestBuilder->setShipperAddress(
    company: 'DHL',
    country: 'DEU',
    postalCode: '53113',
    city: 'Bonn',
    streetName: 'Charles-de-Gaulle-Straße',
    streetNumber: '20'
);
$requestBuilder->setRecipientAddress(
    name: 'Jane Doe',
    countryCode: 'DEU',
    postalCode: '53113',
    city: 'Bonn',
    streetName: 'Sträßchensweg',
    streetNumber: '2'
);
$requestBuilder->setShipmentDetails(productCode: 'V01PAK', shipmentDate: new \DateTimeImmutable('2023-02-23'));
$requestBuilder->setPackageDetails(weightInKg: 2.4);

$shipmentOrder = $requestBuilder->create();
$shipments = $service->createShipments([$shipmentOrder], $orderConfiguration);

Delete Shipment Order

Cancel earlier created shipments.

Public API

The library's components suitable for consumption comprise

• services:
  • service factory
  • shipment service
• data transfer objects:
  • authentication storage

Usage

$logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger();

$serviceFactory = new \Dhl\Sdk\ParcelDe\Shipping\Service\ServiceFactory();
$service = $serviceFactory->createShipmentService($authStorage, $logger, sandbox: true);

$shipmentNumber = '333301011234567890';
$cancelled = $service->cancelShipments([$shipmentNumber]);
