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

  1. Initialise storage (safe to run multiple times):
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py init
  1. Add a package (registers it with 17TRACK and stores it locally):
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py add "RR123456789CN" --label "AliExpress headphones"
If carrier auto-detection fails, specify a carrier code:
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py add "RR123456789CN" --carrier 3011 --label "..."
  1. List tracked packages:
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py list
  1. Poll for updates (recommended if you don't want webhooks):
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py sync
  1. Show details for one package:
bash
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

bash
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

bash
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:
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py process-inbox

Common actions

  • Stop tracking:
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py stop 1
  • Retrack a stopped parcel:
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py retrack 1
  • Delete a parcel from local DB (does not delete at 17TRACK unless you also call 
    delete-remote
    ):
bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/track17.py remove 1
  • Show API quota:
bash
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
    .
