Lalamove API

Commercial

by Lalamove

On-demand delivery API for motorcycles, cars, vans and lorries in Singapore: get quotes, place orders, track drivers and receive webhooks. Self-serve sandbox makes it the easiest SG courier API to start with.

How to authenticate

  1. 1Sign up at developers.lalamove.com for a sandbox account (self-serve).
  2. 2Copy your API key and secret from the dashboard.
  3. 3Sign each request: HMAC-SHA256 over timestamp, method, path and body, sent as Authorization: hmac KEY:TIMESTAMP:SIGNATURE.
  4. 4Set the Market header to SG.
  5. 5Apply for production keys once your flows work in sandbox.

Example request

Request
curl -X POST 'https://rest.sandbox.lalamove.com/v3/quotations' -H 'Authorization: hmac KEY:TS:SIG' -H 'Market: SG' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"data":{"serviceType":"MOTORCYCLE","stops":[{"address":"1 Raffles Place"},{"address":"81 Ubi Ave 4"}]}}'

Example response

Response (truncated)
{"data":{"quotationId":"18500...","priceBreakdown":{"total":"9.40","currency":"SGD"},"expiresAt":"..."}}

Notes for AI agents

The HMAC signature format trips everyone; the raw string is TIMESTAMP\r\nMETHOD\r\nPATH\r\n\r\nBODY. Quotations expire in 5 minutes, place the order with the quotationId before then.
