Overview
PostNord is the official API for Sweden and Denmark's postal service, providing real-time tracking information for parcels in transit. You can look up shipment status, estimated delivery dates, and delivery history using a tracking number or order reference. It is primarily useful for Nordic e-commerce businesses integrating carrier tracking into their platforms.
Beginner Tip
You need to register as a developer at developer.postnord.com to get an API key. Use the "locale" parameter (e.g., "en" or "sv") in your requests to receive tracking messages in the customer preferred language.
