How do I get an API key?
PostNL customers can request an API key through the business portal with their MijnPostNL Zakelijk account. After logging in to the business portal, go to My Account > API Management. This takes you to the environment where you can manage your API keys. Make sure you've selected the correct customer number in the upper-right corner, before you continue. Here, you'll be able to name, create and manage your own integrations. For every integration, a set of two keys is generated: a sandbox key and a production key. Click on ‘Create an integration’ and follow the steps to request your keys. After creating the integration, if the confirmation page with details of your new integration is not loading, or your key is not showing, please allow 15 minutes for us to process your request and refresh the page. If your keys are still not showing after 15 minutes, you may submit a case with our support team and select the category ‘IT implementation’.
