Introduced a new notifier for Matrix to allow messages to be sent to specified rooms on a Matrix server. This extends the application's notification system, enabling it to interact with Matrix homeservers using room IDs and access tokens defined in the configuration. The added `Matrix` class supports basic notification functionality, including determining if the notifier is enabled and sending messages. This enhancement caters to users within the Matrix ecosystem, providing a more integrated experience for alert and notification management. |

Trackbert
A Python application for tracking shipments, primarily through KeyDelivery.
If your system provides notify-send
, you will get a desktop notification when the status of your shipment changes.
Status information is stored in a SQLite database.
Currently supported tracking providers
- KeyDelivery (paid, provides tracking for most carriers)
- Austrian Post
- GLS
- FedEx (requires an API key, see FedEx Developer Resource Center)
- DHL (requires an API key, see DHL Developer Portal)
- DPD (Austria) (may work for other countries as well, but untested)
More tracking providers can be added easily by subclassing trackbert.trackers.base.BaseTracker
. This should be relatively self-explanatory if you look at the existing implementations. Pull requests are welcome!
Requirements
The script was developed and tested on Arch Linux using Python 3.11. The "Never" type hint is used, so I suppose it will not work on older Python versions. It should work on any Linux distribution. You can technically run it on Windows and macOS as well, but you will not get desktop notifications.
In order to get desktop notifications, you need to have notify-send
installed. On Arch Linux, this is provided by the libnotify
package. If your desktop environment does not provide a notification server, you have to install one yourself. How to do this is beyond the scope of this README.
Installation
First, create a virtual environment and install the package:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install trackbert
Then create a config.ini
in your working directory (see config.dist.ini) and fill in your KeyDelivery API details, which you can find in your KeyDelivery API management. You can find your API key in your KeyDelivery account settings.
You can also omit this step, but then you will only be able to track shipments from Austrian Post and GLS.
Usage
First, assure that the virtual environment is activated:
source venv/bin/activate
If you need to create a new config file, run trackbert -g
. You need this if
you want to provide API keys required for KeyDelivery or some of the other
tracking providers.
To add a new shipment, run trackbert --tracking-number <tracking-number> --carrier <carrier-id>
. Find the required carrier ID in the KeyDelivery API management.
To run the main loop, run trackbert
. This will check the status of all shipments every minute, and print the status to the console. If the status of a shipment changes, you will get a desktop notification.
Caveats
DHL
By default, the script queries for updates for each active shipment once per minute. However, if you have the DHL API enabled, you will quickly run into the rate limit. Therefore, the script will only query for updates once per hour (if minute == 0
). For the default 250 requests per day limit, this means that you can only track up to 10 shipments simultaneously.
You may request a higher rate limit from DHL. See the DHL Developer Portal for details. If you do this, you can set ratelimited = 0
(note that 0/1 is a boolean value in the config file) in your config.ini
to disable the rate limit.
