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 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Delivery Point API, Delivery Point2 API, Delivery Point3 API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Germany, Freight Forwarding, and Parcel.

DB Schenker’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, and 6 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-14 · rubric v0.22.0
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/db-schenker: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
