inpost-cli

inpost-cli is a tool to interact with the Polish InPost storage lockers (Paczkomaty). It has the same features as the InPost mobile app.

With inpost-cli you can:

  • ✅ View packages connected to your phone number
  • ✅ Generate QR codes for opening the lockers
  • ✅ Open the lockers remotely from anywhere in the world (unlike the mobile app which requires you to be physically close to the locker)
  • ✅ Use multiple phone numbers at once (the app cannot handle that)
  • ✅ List returns, and generate a QR code to return your products (for example for Allegro)

Additionally:

  • ✅ Using this tool does not disable SMS notifications (unlike the app)
  • ✅ Your privacy is respected, no unnecessary tracking features are included.

This project was developed solely by me and is not affiliated with InPost in any way. This tool uses the same API as the Android InPost app. This program was created to enable the usage of InPost services from GNU/Linux.

Download

Prebuilt binaries are available for download at the releases page. Linux (arm, arm64, and x64), macOS and windows are supported.

Manual installation

If you have Go (at least version 1.12) installed on your system, you can compile and install inpost-cli this way:

$ go install github.com/alufers/inpost-cli@latest

This will download, compile the program and put it to $GOPATH/bin (~/go/bin by default). You can add this folder to $PATH to use this program as a command.

You can also clone the repository and run in the cloned repository:

$ go build .

This will output a binary named inpost-cli in the directory.

This program uses go modules, which were added in Go 1.12 and that makes 1.12 the minimal required Go version, although I recommend using the latest stable release - 1.15.6 at the time of writing (December 2020).

If for whatever reason you cannot install a new version of Go there binaries available for various operating systems and architectures at the releases page.

Usage

First of all you will need to log in using your phone number. Issue this command:

$ inpost-cli login

You will be asked for your phone number and then you will receive an SMS message containing a code which you have to enter. Now you can use all the features of the tool.

Note: You can run this command multiple times with different phone numbers to use multiple accounts.

Viewing package data

For example you can list all your packages:

$ inpost-cli ls

+--------------------------+-------------------------+-----------+-----------------------------+--------+-----------+------------+

You can filter the packages by status...

$ inpost-cli ls -s ready_to_pickup

...or output the data in JSON.

$ inpost-cli ls -s out_for_delivery -f json

Tip: Use inpost-cli -p <PHONE_NUMBER> ls to view packages connected to a specific phone number.

Retrieving your parcels

When the package is ready to pick up you may either generate a QR code in the terminal to open the locker:

$ inpost-cli qr <shipment-number>

A screenshot showing the terminal output of the previous command, including a QR code

TIP: You don't have to enter the whole shipment number, just the few first digits to differentiatie between your parcels.

Alternatively you can use the remote-open feature.

$ inpost-cli open <shipment-number>
Warning: You are about to remotely open a compartment in the pick-up machine (Paczkomat)
Warning: Please double check that you are nearby the correct machine. Somebody can steal your package if you make a mistake!
Press 'y' and enter to open compartment at Raciborska 121, Rybnik (Stacja paliw BP) for shipment number 618400489044200213661457 from example@example.com: \n (n):

inpost-cli does not check whether you are close to the locker, so you can remotely open the compartment for somebody else.

Tracking (package history)

To display the history of the package use:

$ inpost-cli track <shipment-number>
2020-12-03 19:04:21 +0100 CET delivered (DOR)
2020-12-02 19:46:27 +0100 CET ready_to_pickup (UWP)
2020-12-02 09:47:43 +0100 CET out_for_delivery (PDD_2)

2020-11-28 13:41:08 +0100 CET confirmed (PPN)

This command also works for packages not sent using our phone number. It accepts the --json flag.

Help

For help use:

$ inpost-cli help

Configuration

By default the configuration is stored in:


Windows Linux MacOS
%APPDATA%/alufers/inpost-cli/config.json $HOME/.config/alufers/inpost-cli/config.json $HOME/Library/Application Support/alufers/inpost-cli/config.json

You can use the --config flag (place it BEFORE the subcommand) to specify a different configuration file (e.g. inpost-cli --config ~/my-config.json ls).
