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 API contracts indexed 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.
The DB Schenker catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
DB Schenker’s developer surface includes API reference, documentation, and 6 more developer resources.
