Features

The GLS Parcel Processing API SDK supports the following features:

• Create shipments with labels
• Cancel parcels

Create Shipments

Create shipments with one or more parcels and retrieve shipping labels. Value-added services may be ordered per parcel. Return shipment labels can be requested either standalone ("return only") or together with the regular "way-to" label.

Public API

The library's components suitable for consumption comprise

• services:
  • service factory
  • shipment service
  • data transfer object builders
• data transfer objects:
  • shipment with parcels
• exceptions

Usage

$logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger();
$serviceFactory = new \GlsGroup\Sdk\ParcelProcessing\Service\ServiceFactory();
$service = $serviceFactory->createShipmentService('basicAuthUser', 'basicAuthPass', $logger, $sandbox = true);

// REGULAR SHIPMENT
$requestBuilder = new \GlsGroup\Sdk\ParcelProcessing\RequestBuilder\ShipmentRequestBuilder();
$requestBuilder->setShipperAccount($shipperId = '98765 43210');
$requestBuilder->setRecipientAddress(
    $country = 'DE',
    $postalCode = '36286',
    $city = 'Neuenstein',
    $street = 'GLS-Germany-Straße 1 - 7',
    $name = 'Jane Doe'
);
$requestBuilder->addParcel($parcelWeightA = 0.95);
$requestBuilder->addParcel($parcelWeightB = 1.2);
$request = $requestBuilder->create();

$shipment = $service->createShipment($request);

// work with the web service response, e.g. persist label
foreach ($shipment->getLabels() as $i => $label) {
    file_put_contents("/tmp/{$shipment->getConsignmentId()}-{$i}.pdf", $label);
}

// RETURN SHIPMENT
$requestBuilder = new \GlsGroup\Sdk\ParcelProcessing\RequestBuilder\ReturnShipmentRequestBuilder();
$requestBuilder->setShipperAccount($shipperId = '98765 43210');
$requestBuilder->setShipperAddress(
    $country = 'DE',
    $postalCode = '36286',
    $city = 'Neuenstein',
    $street = 'GLS-Germany-Straße 1 - 7',
    $name = 'Jane Doe'
);
$requestBuilder->setRecipientAddress(
    $country = 'DE',
    $postalCode = '36286',
    $city = 'Neuenstein',
    $street = 'GLS Germany-Straße 1 - 7',
    $company = 'GLS Germany'
);
$requestBuilder->addParcel($weight = 0.95, $qrCode = true);
$request = $requestBuilder->create();

$shipment = $service->createShipment($request);

Cancel Parcels

Cancel one or more parcels.

Public API

The library's components suitable for consumption comprise

• services:
  • service factory
  • cancellation service
• exceptions

Usage

$logger = new \Psr\Log\NullLogger();
$serviceFactory = new \GlsGroup\Sdk\ParcelProcessing\Service\ServiceFactory();
$service = $serviceFactory->createCancellationService('basicAuthUser', 'basicAuthPass', $logger, $sandbox = true);

$cancelledIds = $service->cancelParcels([$parcelIdA = '12345', $parcelIdB = '54321']);
