Carrier tracking

DPD tracking API

DPD is a domestic carrier serving EU routes. Trace accepts the DPD carrier code (dpd) and returns a normalized tracking timeline when a source provides usable data.

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

Track DPD in one request

Automatic detection covers selected number formats. For ambiguous or unlisted formats, send the carrier code explicitly (dpd); a listed code does not guarantee live events. Send a tracking number to the Trace API and receive a normalized event timeline.
