HTTP requests and postal services

Using HTTP Requests in Planfix, you can track shipments from transportation companies.

• DHL
• FedEx

DHL

We’ll configure parcel tracking via the DHL API.

• Firstly we send a GET request containing our tracking number, and the API key of our app.

• Once we have received the response, we parse the shipping data received from DHL and add it to the appropriate fields.

FedEx

You can also track your shipment using a POST request to the FedEx API.

• Here, we’ll start by sending a POST request to obtain our authorization token.

• Once we’ve parsed the response and received the token, we send a main request to FedEx to obtain our shipment information.

• Remember to add the token to the header of your main request.
