Developers use it to create, track, price and route cash-on-delivery parcels with 99 couriers, according to the company, through one request shape. DZBuild announced it on its blog on 12 July 2026 and says it built the service because every Algerian courier has a different, mostly undocumented API. ## Services - **Orders** (POST /v1/orders): home or stop-desk delivery; the amount to collect is an integer in DZD, with 0 meaning prepaid. - **Tracking** (POST /v1/track): current status and full history, mapped onto fourteen shared statuses with French and Arabic labels. - **Rates** (POST /v1/rates) for delivery and return fees, and **stop desks** (POST /v1/desks). - **Reference data**: couriers, wilayas, communes, an OpenAPI spec and an llms.txt file. - **Sandbox**: a test courier that validates every field and creates no parcel. - **Open source**: MIT clients for Node.js (npm package dzship), PHP, Python and Ruby, plus a CC0 dataset of 58 wilayas and 1,541 communes. ## How it works The courier list includes Yalidine and its sister networks, ZR Express on both platforms, Maystro, NOEST, Zimou, Colivraison, Elogistia and 82 couriers on [Ecotrack](/en/companies/ecotrack). Each request carries the merchant's own courier credentials, and the parcel is created on the merchant's courier account; DZBuild says the credentials are never stored. Read on 3 November 2026 at [freeship.dzbuild.com](https://freeship.dzbuild.com): no per-parcel fee, and the courier still bills delivery as usual. Per-IP fair-use limits: 200 orders an hour and 1,000 a day, 10 a day per recipient phone, and 60 tracking calls a minute and 5,000 a day. ## Good to know - Call the API from your server so your courier credentials stay private. - COD stays with your courier: it collects the cash and pays you, minus its fees. - According to dzship, Algeria moved to 69 wilayas in April 2026; the service handles the codes couriers accept today (1 to 58).
