What is Dora?

Welcome to the Dora API documentation. Dora is a complete, developer-first platform for building and scaling last-mile delivery and logistics operations. If you’re building an on-demand delivery app, adding delivery services to your e-commerce store, or managing a fleet of riders, our API provides the tools to handle everything from pickup to proof-of-delivery.

​
Key Features

Our platform is built around a simple, powerful REST API that lets you:
  • 📦 Create & Manage Deliveries: Programmatically create new delivery orders, update their status, and manage the entire lifecycle in real-time.
  • 🛵 Assign & Track Riders: Onboard your riders, assign them to deliveries, and track their real-time location and progress.
  • ⚙️ Automate Your Operations: Build complex logistics workflows, like automatic rider assignment, batching deliveries, and calculating ETAs.
  • 🧾 Handle Proof of Delivery: Upload signatures or photos at the drop-off location to confirm a delivery is complete.

​
Who is this for?

The Dora API is designed for any business that needs to move goods from point A to point B.
  • On-Demand Services: Food delivery, grocery apps, and local couriers.
  • E-commerce & Retail: Local businesses and online stores adding a “local delivery” option.
