Integrate new version
We are renewing and improving our API portfolio to ensure easy and quick implementation. The new API versions will replace the older ones, improving performance and be more scalable. We are also making them safer and more stable with predictable updates. This way, you can enjoy our latest products and services worry-free, today and in the future.
Our new APIs offer version management with predictable updates, allowing for systematic rollouts of new versions. These will become available throughout 2025. Right now, this API is available only to a selected group of PostNL customers. If you haven’t received an invite yet, you’re not eligible just yet — but don’t worry. As we continue to add new features and improve the experience, more customers will be invited to join. Thanks for bearing with us – we’re excited to roll out the API to a broader audience soon!
