API Documentation
“Delivery Service 2008” system has an option of integration by means of XML API under HTTP POST protocol. The given API is designed for integrating customers (online shops and other companies ordering delivery) with delivery services working under the control of “Delivery Service 2008” system. If you are an aggregator transferring customer data, you will probably have to log in using different user accounts in case a delivery service has to keep separate accounts for reciprocal payments for each customer. If you are a “contractor”, the integration should be done in the opposite direction – orders will be transferred to you from a delivery service. For that purpose we have a platform for external integration but contractors can be added to it only on our side. Please, send us your quote, the description of your service and we will gladly consider them. When writing the given documentation we`ve been assuming that a person reading it has the required level of expertise in programming sufficient for the understanding of the contents of this documentation, has a knowledge of XML and development environment which he is integrating. If you are not qualified as a programmer you will have to hire a professional programmer for the implementation of your project. If you still have questions after reading the given documentation, feel free to ask them via e-mail support@courierexe.ru. In your e-mail message you should introduce yourself, leave your contact information (your phone number, Skype login) and the name of the company that you want to integrate with.

The given modules are shared for free without any guarantee on the part of the developer. Their availability should be considered not as a means of complete automation of your interaction with the delivery service but more as an aid for online shop developers in building integration with delivery services. However, we will appreciate if you inform us about your needs and/or discrepancies found in our modules – this allows us to consider your demands when developing new versions of our modules.
Test account
For debugging you can access your test personal account following the link: https://home.courierexe.ru/8, your login will be: test, your password will be: testm. There you will be able to see all your requests with the “eyes” of our system by using “Automation” tab. You will also find a query execution interface there. You will see all created orders on “Tracking” tab.
In order to simplify the process of integration, you can download the example of addressing the service using PHP.
Work account for the connection to your customer`s platform
It is necessary to have 3 parameters in order to connect to your customer`s platform: 1. Parameter extra (this is a digital code, company`s unique identifier. Request this parameter from a company that you are integrating with.) You can look this code up in “Delivery Service 2008” software interface by using its main menu "Reference – Additional Options". Digital value will be given at the second hyperlink (it is marked with an “asterisk” in the screenshot below):
2. Login is a user account parameter for customer`s member area and API that is entered in user card on "Miscellaneous" in "User Name" field. You will probably have to create a new user card (shown in the screenshot below) in “Delivery Service 2008” software.
3. Password is a user account parameter for customer`s member area and API that is entered in user card on "Miscellaneous" in " Password" field (shown in the screenshot below).
General terms
There is a web service on the side of the delivery service located at the following URL: https://home.courierexe.ru/api/. Test authorization data are: user login: test, user password: testm, “extra” parameter value: 8. Please, note that the test platform is common for everyone. You shouldn`t pass on orders containing confidential data through it as they might be seen by other users of the service. Ask the company that you are integrating with for user “login”, “password” and “extra” parameter value in order to use the integration in the work mode. You can send test queries to our service in the member area using “Automation” tab. You can also check the history of all queries sent by you in the member area.
A customer is sending queries to the service by using HTTP POST, the service is processing these queries and sending the execution result back. All queries and responses are transferred in XML format. The encoding used is UTF-8. Dot sign is used as a decimal symbol. Dates are presented in YYYY-MM-DD format and time is presented in HH:MM format. Due to the peculiarities of XML extensible markup language, some symbols in the text should be replaced: & from & < to < > from > " to "
Limitations
With the aim of protecting service from its improper use query limitation equal to 1500 queries from one IP-address for 20-minute period has been introduced since May 29, 2017. In case the above-mentioned limit is reached, the IP-address will be blocked; unblocking of the IP-address is possible by addressing the technical support service with the subsequent discussion of your algorithms and their correction.
The best option for checking your orders` status is using "statusreq" queries with changes=ONLY_LAST parameter. You shouldn`t try to “attack” our API with queries containing numbers of all your orders, especially, with "tracking" queries – they are not intended to be used for this (see their description).

Order elements description
- neworder is a root container, the mandatory element.
- newfolder is an attribute of a new order – YES/NO. If there is YES, then a new order will be created for the given correspondence in the delivery service system. It is an optional element.
- order is a container used for the description of one order, the mandatory element. There may be a number of order containers in one neworder container for the creation of several orders by using one query.
- orderno is an order number. It should be entered here if it is assigned by the customer. In case it is not assigned, this field can be left empty; the system will generate its own number and send it back in the response.

(This type of payment is transferred in case the order has already been paid for and doesn`t require cash collection; API will add goods from the order with a null price to the system. If it is necessary to transfer order total cost, it can be done by using <inshprice> field, indicating order items` declared value)
- OTHER means other types of payment (It is designated for making payments directly to the delivery service by using other types of payment as: “Webmoney”, “Yandex Money”, online payment with a credit card other payment systems, etc.)

Order status query
The example of order status query
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<statusreq>
<auth extra="8" login="login" pass="pass"></auth>
<client>CLIENT</client>
<orderno>1234</orderno>

<dateto>2016-07-21</dateto>
<target>Car-making factory</target>
<done>ONLY_NOT_DONE</done>
<changes>ONLY_LAST</changes>
<quickstatus>NO</quickstatus>
</statusreq>
The description of status query fields
statusreq is a root container. It is a mandatory element.
- auth is authorization. It is a mandatory element.
- client is an attribute of a customer or an agent. It is an optional element.
- CLIENT is an attribute of a customer, the default value
- AGENT is an attribute of an agent. In response the information on orders passed on to the agent for their delivery is returned
- orderno is an order number. It is an optional element.
- orderno2 is an order number from the list of urgent orders. It is an optional element.
- datefrom is a date “from”. It is a mandatory element.
- dateto is a date “to”. It is a mandatory element.
- target is a find string. It allows indicating the text that company name or receiver`s address contains.
- done can have the following values:
- ONLY_NOT_DONE - for undelivered only
- ONLY_DONE - for delivered only
- ONLY_NEW - for new only
- Empty - for all correspondence
- changes can have only one value - ONLY_LAST. If this parameter is set, all other parameters, except quickstatus, will be ignored. The description of this mode is given here: Newly changed statuses transfer
- quickstatus indicates the “depth” of transferred statuses: "YES" value (by default) - statuses are transferred starting from the information provided by a courier. Such statuses are quick (as a rule, they are provided by a courier immediately after delivery) but not always accurate. "NO" value prohibits status transfer according to oral information provided by the courier and provides only those statuses that have been entered by an operator manually, as a rule. It takes more time however the level of accuracy is much higher in this case. It is not recommended to combine (interleave) these two types of status transfer in case of newly changed statuses demand as in this case the system will consider that statuses of dispatches are changing.
Please, note!
- Period of status query (datefrom and dateto containers) is limited to two months — two months to the date "to".
- In case both dates are not specified — dateto is accepted equal to the current date.
- In case dateto date is not specified — it is accepted equal to datefrom plus two months.
- In case datefrom date is not specified — it is accepted equal to dateto minus two months.

- RETURNING - Return is planned
- RETURNED - Returned
- CONFIRM - Dispatch is confirmed
- DATECHANGE - Postponement
- NEWPICKUP - Pickup is created
- UNCONFIRM - Dispatch has not been confirmed
- PICKUPREADY - Ready for pickup
Note: The set of currently used statuses may be expanded and charged in the future.
Please, note!
- status container attributes should be specified for system version 2008.0.0.670 and newer ones.
- statushistory is filled in for tariff. "Premium" as well as for system version 2008.0.0.670 and newer ones.
Newly changed statuses transfer
Send a query for getting newly changed statuses
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<statusreq>
<auth extra="8" login="login" pass="pass"></auth>
<changes>ONLY_LAST</changes>
<quickstatus>NO</quickstatus>
</statusreq>
The system will display all orders that have at least one of the fields changed since the time of the last query in this mode:
orderno status delivereddate deliveredtime deliveredto receiver->date receiver->address price
After successful response processing it is necessary to mark received statuses as successfully received ones sending the following query
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<commitlaststatus>
<auth extra="8" login="login" pass="pass"></auth>
</commitlaststatus>
If successful you will get the following response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<commitlaststatus>
<error error="0" errormsg="OK"></error>
</commitlaststatus>
This way of status transfer ensures a complete and correct status transfer even in case the status has changed in the time period between statuses` query and confirmation of their receipt. If the system hasn`t received the confirmation of a successful status transfer, it will consider this information to be not delivered and will display it in case of a requery.
Please, note!
- When this way of data transfer is used (<changes>ONLY_LAST</changes>), the system is reviewing those orders that have been checked out for the last 3 months. In case there is an order that has been checked out before this period, then status change for this order won`t get into the list of results of this query execution.
- The system always returns a current status, i. e., you can get "NEW" status for your first query and "COMPLETE" status - for your second query. A dispatch could have gone through several intermediate statuses in between queries.
- The system can never guarantee the order going through a set of statuses successively, i. e., you can get "COMPLETE" status after your first query and "NEW" status after your second query - such things can happen in case when, for example, the operator has mistakenly marked an order as a completed one and then corrected his mistake.
Order tracking by number
Query for order tracking by number is intended to provide minimal anonymized information about a certain order to a non-authorized user. Our system has its own interface for this which is available at the following URL: "home.courierexe.ru/{extra code}/tracking". You can either create a link to such page at your web-site or put as an iframe there or create your own page and use our API. This interface is specially designed to issue information to a human web-site user. You need to use "statusreq" query, desirably with changes=ONLY_LAST parameter in order to obtain statuses of orders into your information system!
A query example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tracking>
<extra>8</extra>
<orderno>1234</orderno>
</tracking>
