ParcelValue API

For the latest version of this documentation please visit https://parcelvalue.github.io/api/.

Before using the API please make sure you have a ParcelValue client account set up.

It is recommended to start by using the testing environment while developing your integration, then move to using a real account in the production environment.

Please ask ParcelValue to create a test client which you can use in the testing environment.

Once you have obtained the user and password, please log in the ParcelValue client area and visit the API section where you will find all the information specific to the current environment:

• API URL and version;
• Server key;
• Your Client key(s);

Current client area URL’s for the API section are:

• Testing: test.v3.my.parcelvalue.eu/api
• Production: v3.my.parcelvalue.eu/api
