DB Schenker

DB Schenker (Schenker AG, headquartered in Essen, Germany) is one of the world's largest freight forwarders and contract logistics providers, moving air, ocean, land and rail freight and running warehousing for shippers across roughly 1,850 locations. As a forwarder it sits in the intermediation layer of the supply chain — between the shipper who owns the cargo and the carriers, terminals and customs authorities who move and clear it — buying capacity it does not own and reselling visibility it did not have to publish. Its API posture is honestly a customer-contract posture, not a public developer posture. Deutsche Bahn sold DB Schenker to DSV A/S, completing 30 April 2025, and as of this profile www.dbschenker.com 301-redirects to dsv.com while the global developer portal at api-portal.dbschenker.com answers HTTP 410 Gone. The one DB Schenker-branded machine-readable API surface still live is the Nordic parcel "Partner services API" at parcelservices-se.dbschenker.com/Apipartner, which publishes four Swagger 2.0 documents openly but returns 401 on every operation without HTTP Basic credentials issued against a signed Swedish transport agreement. Its EDI endpoints are proprietary JSON, not EDIFACT or X12, and no DCSA, IATA ONE Record, GS1 EPCIS or WCO Data Model conformant contract was found on any reachable host.

DB Schenker publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Partner Services API V1, Partner Services API V2, Partner Services API V3, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Germany, Freight Forwarding, and Parcel.

DB Schenker’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, and 5 more developer resources.
