📦 py17track: A Simple Python API for 17track.net

py17track is a simple Python library to track packages in 17track.net accounts.

Since this is uses an unofficial API, there's no guarantee that 17track.net will provide every field for every package, all the time. Additionally, this API may stop working at any moment.

Python Versions

py17track is currently supported on:

• Python 3.9
• Python 3.10
• Python 3.11

Installation

pip install py17track

Usage

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from py17track import Client


async def main() -> None:
    """Run!"""
    client = Client()

    # Login to 17track.net:
    await client.profile.login('<EMAIL>', '<PASSWORD>')

    # Get the account ID:
    client.profile.account_id
    # >>> 1234567890987654321

    # Get a summary of the user's packages:
    summary = await client.profile.summary()
    # >>> {'In Transit': 3, 'Expired': 3, ... }

    # Get all packages associated with a user's account:
    packages = await client.profile.packages()
    # >>> [py17track.package.Package(..), ...]
    
    # Add new packages by tracking number
    await client.profile.add_package('<TRACKING NUMBER>', '<FRIENDLY NAME>')


asyncio.run(main())

By default, the library creates a new connection to 17track with each coroutine. If you are calling a large number of coroutines (or merely want to squeeze out every second of runtime savings possible), an aiohttp ClientSession can be used for connection pooling:

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from py17track import Client


async def main() -> None:
    """Run!"""
    async with ClientSession() as session:
        client = Client(session=session)

        # ...


asyncio.run(main())

Each Package object has the following info:

• destination_country: the country the package was shipped to
• friendly_name: the human-friendly name of the package
• info: a text description of the latest status
• location: the current location (if known)
• timestamp: the timestamp of the latest event
• origin_country: the country the package was shipped from
• package_type: the type of package (if known)
• status: the overall package status ("In Transit", "Delivered", etc.)
• tracking_info_language: the language of the tracking info
• tracking_number: the all-important tracking number
