Direct Link
The simplest way to track DHL shipments is to install a direct link to the DHL tracking pages. You have several tracking options:
You can imbed HTML code into your application and use the "get method" to submit
your request for tracking information. Below is an example for Tracking by Number
(single waybill method).
Tracking Single Waybills
The following HTML tracking sample enables you to insert a single waybill number
into a tracking field and submit the request via your existing web page. This
link takes you to the DHL tracking screen, automatically populating the shipment
information.
<html>
<head>
<title>DHL - Track By Tracking Number</title>
</head>
All other tracking options (Tracking by Reference, Email or Delivery Signature)
can be supported with this method. If you need assistance with the HTML code for
these methods, please email HTMLTracking@dhl.com.
HTML Query Strings
Utilizing the "query string method," you can request the tracking pages without
having to manually enter the numbers within the browser page.
Please note that URL tracking is not available for Tracking by Number with Email Reply.
Notes:
? is required to enable the query string
Use & to delimit multiple query string keys
Use = to associate values to query string keys
PLEASE NOTE: All examples in this document are not intended to be actual or real
requests.
