How to obtain credentials

Access to the Magyar Posta API is granted through the developer portal at devportal.posta.hu:

  1. Register on the Magyar Posta developer portal and sign in.

  2. Create a production application and request access to the PULL Tracking service.

  3. Once approved, Magyar Posta issues an API key + API secret pair.

  4. Enter these values into the Magyar Posta carrier settings in Retino.

What Retino tracks

  • Shipment statuses — all events from the official Magyar Posta event catalogue (acceptance, processing, transportation, delivery, return, exceptions).

  • Delivery type — recognised automatically: home address, parcel terminal (csomagautomata), post office (Poste restante) or PostaPont pickup point.

  • Pickup points — parcel terminals and post offices are created dynamically as tracking events arrive. Retino reads the location from the API response and links the pickup point to the shipment.

Supported tracking number formats

  • MPL domestic parcel — 13 characters, PN or PB prefix followed by a service code and digits (e.g. PNWSL80275969, PBYY451065384, PB00010122727).

  • UPU international — 2 letters + 9 digits + HU (e.g. RR123456789HU, CP123456789HU).

  • MPL Europe StandardJJH prefix + 17 alphanumeric characters (e.g. JJH30AAAAAPL00000001).

  • Registered letterRL or EL prefix + 14 digits.
