# DPD UK Tracking API & MCP

URL: https://docs.lastscanned.com/carriers/dpduk

Query live **DPD UK** (`dpduk`) package status and scan history in a single synchronous `GET` request or MCP tool call. This is the UK network behind `track.dpd.co.uk`; for DPD in other European countries (`dpd.com`) use the DPD Group carrier instead.

## Overview & Quick Facts

| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| **Carrier slug (`?carrier=`)** | `dpduk` |
| **Brand & service aliases** | DPD UK, DPD Local, DPD Pickup, Follow my parcel |
| **Category** | UK domestic parcel carrier |
| **Single-package REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/{trackingNumber}?carrier=dpduk` |
| **Batch REST endpoint** | `GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track?numbers=15501234567890,15501234567891&carrier=dpduk` |
| **MCP server (`https://mcp.lastscanned.com`)** | `track_package`, `track_packages`, `list_carriers` (`claude mcp add --transport http lastscanned https://mcp.lastscanned.com`) |
| **Authentication & pricing** | `Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_...` · **1 free keyless lookup/day per IP** · **Free tier** (5 unique numbers/day, $0) · **Pro** ($4.99/mo for 1,000 unique numbers, unlimited re-polls, $0.015/extra) · **HTTP 402 Stripe MPP** ($0.50 for 25-number `lsk_pack_` key or $0.02/number in USDC on Tempo) |

## Tracking Number Formats & Auto-Detection

| Pass | Rule / Regex | Check Digit | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Pass 1 (`matches`)** | *None* | n/a | n/a |
| **Pass 2 (`mayMatch`)** | `/^15\d{12}$/` (14-digit label barcode: `1550` plus the 10-digit parcel number) | none | `15501234567890` |
| **Explicit (`?carrier=dpduk`)** | The 14-digit barcode or the bare 10-digit parcel number | none | `1234567890` |

DPD UK numbers have no check digit and share their shape with other carriers, so pass `?carrier=dpduk` whenever you know the parcel is DPD UK. DPD matches on the last 10 digits, so the 14-digit barcode and the 10-digit number find the same parcel.

## Status & Time Notes

- **Pickup shops**: A parcel waiting at a DPD Pickup shop ("ready to be collected") is reported as `exception` until it is collected, and a refused parcel is `exception` too.
- **Times**: DPD UK prints scan times as UK local time with no zone, including scans by its European partner networks, so `timestamp` is converted from `Europe/London` and `localTime` is the time as printed.
- **Rate limit**: DPD allows about 50 requests a minute per IP and each lookup makes three, so large batches may return `rate_limited` for some numbers.
