Getting Started with PostNL Developer Center

The PostNL Developer Center offers a set of application programming interfaces (API's) that give you the means to incorporate PostNL functionality into your applications. This Developer Center describes how to create an account and get credentials to start building a connection with the Sandbox. Once you finish testing, you can move your application to the production environment.

1. Find API's you would like to try

Explore a variety of product categories and discover the perfect API's for your business.

3. Test it out in the Sandbox environment

Each API comes with its own documentation. Also some API's are accompanied by test data, swagger and/or a sandbox where you can play around with the code before you go any further.
