The 22-digit waybill (booking date 20YYMMDD plus a 14-digit consignment) is shared with other carriers, so it is only a loose fallback: pass ?carrier=apcovernight.

Notes

  • Route: the server-rendered APC Choice "Pinpoint" page (track-parcel?id=); the parcel journey and delivery summary rows are read. No account; the postcode only unlocks proof of delivery.
  • Several items: a consignment can have several parcels. An event identical across items is shown once; an item's own events carry "(item N)".
  • Status: Carded (calling card left) and Held At Depot are exception; Delivery Rearranged By Customer is in transit.
  • Time zone: times are UK clock time (Europe/London).
