track17 (17TRACK parcel tracking)
This skill lets Clawdbot keep a local list of your parcels, track their state via the 17TRACK Tracking API v2.2, and summarise changes.
It stores everything in a small SQLite DB under your workspace (by default:
<workspace>/packages/track17/track17.sqlite3
).
<workspace>
is auto-detected as the parent directory of the nearest
skills/
directory that contains this skill.
For example, if you install it at
/clawd/skills/track17/
, data will be stored at
/clawd/packages/track17/
.
Requirements
TRACK17_TOKEN
must be set (17TRACK API token; used as the 17token
header).- Python (
python3
preferred).
Optional:
TRACK17_WEBHOOK_SECRET
if you want to verify webhook signatures.TRACK17_DATA_DIR
to override where the DB/inbox live.TRACK17_WORKSPACE_DIR
to override what this tool considers the workspace directory.
Quick start
- Initialise storage (safe to run multiple times):
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py init
- Add a package (registers it with 17TRACK and stores it locally):
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py add "RR123456789CN" --label "AliExpress headphones"
If carrier auto-detection fails, specify a carrier code:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py add "RR123456789CN" --carrier 3011 --label "..."
- List tracked packages:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py list
- Poll for updates (recommended if you don't want webhooks):
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py sync
- Show details for one package:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py status 1
# or
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py status "RR123456789CN"
Webhooks (optional)
17TRACK can push updates to a webhook URL. This skill supports webhook ingestion in two ways:
A) Run the included webhook server
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py webhook-server --bind 127.0.0.1 --port 8789
Then point 17TRACK's webhook URL at that server (ideally via a reverse proxy or Tailscale Funnel).
B) Ingest webhook payloads from stdin/file
cat payload.json | python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py ingest-webhook
# or
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py ingest-webhook --file payload.json
If you saved webhook deliveries to the inbox directory, process them:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py process-inbox
Common actions
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py stop 1
- Retrack a stopped parcel:
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py retrack 1
- Delete a parcel from local DB (does not delete at 17TRACK unless you also call
delete-remote
):
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py remove 1
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py quota
Operating guidance for the agent
- Prefer sync (polling) for simplicity unless the user explicitly wants webhooks.
- After adding a package, run
status
once to confirm a valid carrier/status was returned.
- When summarising, prioritise:
- delivered/out for delivery
- exception/failed delivery
- customs holds
- carrier handoffs
- Never echo
TRACK17_TOKEN
or TRACK17_WEBHOOK_SECRET
.
