Royal Mail
by International Distribution Services
Royal Mail shipping and tracking APIs return the shipments a seller has created, labels with service codes, daily manifests and tracking events for each item. In the Lake, those events join marketplace and webshop orders, so UK sellers can see which services keep their delivery aims, which warehouses dispatch late and how failed deliveries show up in reviews and refunds.

Keep Royal Mail shipments in your Lake and let an AI Mind flag what is late, costly or off plan.
Need more? Name any other Royal Mail data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- An API key
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
Royal Mail uses an API key or OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in International Distribution Services if you need help.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once Royal Mail data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- Which Royal Mail services, such as Tracked 24, Tracked 48 and Special Delivery, met their delivery aim on our orders?
- How many items per daily manifest left each warehouse, and did that match the orders marked as dispatched?
- What share of items were held at a delivery office after a failed delivery attempt?
- Does shipping with Tracked 24 instead of Tracked 48 change repeat purchase rates?
05How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Royal Mail.
Open Lake, pick Royal Mail in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Royal Mail API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Royal Mail documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example shipments and tracking events), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Royal Mail data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
