Carrier tracking

An Post tracking API

An Post is a domestic carrier serving IE routes. Trace accepts the An Post carrier code (anpost) and returns a normalized tracking timeline when a source provides usable data.

Use the Trace package tracking API to track An Post shipments without integrating directly with An Post's own systems. Send a tracking number, and Trace detects the carrier automatically where possible or accepts the code explicitly.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer trc_test_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
