Accessing the web service for parcelshop search

The endpoints for the centrally hosted services can be obtained from your primary GLS contact and will be given with your credentials for the Service. You can retrieve the WSDL of the corresponding service by adding '?wsdl' to the URL.

If you are connecting to a locally installed GLS ShipIT, you have to adapt the URL to point to the host (and port) in your network where the GLS ShipIT backend is running. E.g. https://10.10.10.10:8443/backend/ParcelShopService/ParcelShopPortType?wsdl

Available web service operations

getParcelShopById (F-107)

This method searches for a parcelshop with the given id.

Parameter	Mandatory	Description
id	TRUE	Id of the Parcelshop which is searched.

Input validation

The id may not be empty and must reference an existing parcelshop
The id must consist of two parts, in the format {partnerID}-{local id}, e.g. GLS_DE-2761234567

List of Partner ID's

If there is no prefixed Partner ID, the system will determine the Partner ID based on the ParcelShop ID entered. If the ParcelShop ID sent does not begin with one of the numerical sequences listed below, the Partner ID must be specified; otherwise, the message “ParcelShop ID not unique, please specify with Partner ID” is returned. This input help will be valid for a certain period of time. In order to be prepared for potential changes in the future and to be able to connect further countries, we recommend adapting the request to the new format (including Partner ID).

Parcelshop starting with	Partner ID
276	GLS_DE
250	GLS_FR
040	GLS_AT
056	GLS_BE
208	GLS_DK
616	GLS_PL
442	GLS_LU

getParcelShopsByCountryCode (F-108)

This method returns a list of parcelshops for a specific country.
Attention: Depending on the country for which you request the parcelshops, the answer might take time and will be big. Use this service to build up a cache of parcelshops, but do not plan to call that service from any online function which requires fast response times (the parcelshop list for Germany has around 11MB of data, response time of the service is above 30 seconds).

Parameter	Mandatory	Description
countryCode	TRUE	countryCode of the Country which is searched.

Input validation

countryCode may not be empty

The SOAP response is presented as an instance of type eu.glsgroup.fpcs.datatypes.soap.v1.parcelshop.ListOfParcelShop or one of the following soap faults:

getParcelShopsInArea (F-109)

This method searches the parcelshops within the given area.
Important: This method is deprecated. Please transform your request to the newly provided method getParcelShopinDistance.

Parameter	Mandatory	Description
area	TRUE	The eu.glsgroup.fpcs.datatypes.soap.v1.parcelshop.Area with the request parameters.

Input validation

All the parameters inside the Area object have to be set.
All latitudes have to be valid latitudes ranging from -90 to +90
All longitudes have to be valid longitudes ranging from -180 to +180
Max distance between coordinates is 100 km

The response is presented as an instance of type eu.glsgroup.fpcs.datatypes.soap.v1.parcelshop.ListOfParcelShop or one of the following soap faults:

eu.gls_group.fpcs.v1.parcelshop.InvalidFieldValueMessage
eu.gls_group.fpcs.v1.parcelshop.MandatoryFieldMissingMessage

Attention: Searching over big areas will result in a slow and potentially very big response. If you plan to integrate the service in a synchronous manner, keep the search area small to ensure a quick response.
