description: 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.
