Steps
Register on the DHL API Developer Portal and subscribe to the Location Finder - Unified API to get an API key.
Choose a search method: find-by-address (geocodes the input, then searches nearby) or find-by-geo (pass lat/long directly — more reliable, since find-by-address depends on DHL's geocoder).
Set countryCode plus postalCode/city/street (or lat/long), an optional radius (default 500m, max 25,000m), and a locationType filter to scope results.
Filter results by network (Post & Parcel Germany, DHL Express, DHL eCommerce, DHL Freight) and location type (service points, post offices, lockers including lean variants, PO boxes, postboxes) as needed.
Handle empty-result responses (HTTP 200 with an empty locations array) by widening the radius or falling back to find-by-geo rather than treating it as a hard error.
Known gotchas
find-by-address results depend entirely on DHL's geocoding of your input — ambiguous or malformed addresses can silently return zero locations even though nearby locations exist; find-by-geo avoids this.
This 'Unified' API replaced the older Location Search Europe API — older integrations pointed at the deprecated endpoint need to migrate, not just add a new key.
Locker network coverage varies by country; not every DHL country of operation exposes lockers through this API even though service points do appear.
