Carrier tracking

PostNL tracking API

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

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

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

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