FedEx Tracking Bot

Prerequisites

Ensure the following are installed:

• Python 3.x
• Required Python libraries:
  • pandas
  • beautifulsoup4
  • selenium
  • openpyxl

Install the libraries using:

pip install pandas beautifulsoup4 selenium openpyxl

• Chrome WebDriver: Download the Chrome WebDriver that matches your Chrome version and place it in a known directory.

Configuration

Input File

• input_file: The script reads tracking numbers from an Excel file named input_unknown.xlsx. Ensure this file is in the same directory as the script and contains a column named ref_number.

Chrome WebDriver Path

• chrome_driver_path: Update the path to your Chrome WebDriver executable:

chrome_driver_path = 'D:\chromedriver-win64\chromedriver.exe'

Proxy Configuration (Optional)

• proxy_address: If you need to use a proxy, set the proxy address. The default is socks5://127.0.0.1:8443.

proxy_address='socks5://127.0.0.1:8443'

Output File

• The script automatically generates an output file named tracking_resultsN.xlsx, where N is a sequential number starting from 1.

Running the Script

After configuring the parameters, run the script. It will:

1. Read tracking numbers from the input Excel file.
2. Check for already processed tracking numbers.
3. Fetch tracking information for each number using Selenium.
4. Write the results to the output Excel file.

Example Command

Run the script using:

python your_script_name.py

Logging

The script logs its progress and results to the console, allowing you to monitor any errors during execution.

Notes

• The script is designed to handle multiple tracking numbers concurrently.
• Ensure a stable network connection.
• Adjust the max_workers parameter in the ThreadPoolExecutor to optimize performance based on your system capabilities.
