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

pyseventeentrack 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

pyseventeentrack is currently supported on:

• Python 3.11
• Python 3.12

Installation

pip install pyseventeentrack

Usage

import asyncio

from aiohttp import ClientSession

from pyseventeentrack 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()
    # >>> [pyseventeentrack.package.Package(..), ...]

    # Package results are fetched across all available response pages.
    
    # Add new packages by tracking number
    await client.profile.add_package('<TRACKING NUMBER>', '<FRIENDLY NAME>')

    # Add a new package and specify the carrier code
    await client.profile.add_package(
        '<TRACKING NUMBER>',
        '<FRIENDLY NAME>',
        first_carrier=190625,
    )

    # Set the carrier for an existing package by tracking number
    await client.profile.set_carrier_by_tracking_number(
        '<TRACKING NUMBER>', first_carrier=190625
    )


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 pyseventeentrack 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
• first_carrier: the first carrier code selected for 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)
• second_carrier: the second carrier code selected for the package
• 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

Package operations that need 17Track's internal package ID raise InvalidPackageDataError when the API returns a missing or empty ID. Looking up an unknown internal package ID raises PackageNotFoundError.
