Notes

  • Source: the China EMS mobile app's API, with the app's request signature (an HMAC-SHA256 header). It is not the UPU tracker ems uses, so it also answers LZ, RR, CX and similar numbers.
  • Latest scans only: the API returns the three most recent scans of a longer history; message says how many exist.
  • Wording: scans are in Chinese. Times are Beijing time at home and each office's local time abroad, so only localTime is set.
  • Domestic numbers: 13-digit domestic numbers can be looked up with ?carrier=chinapost; they are not auto-detected.
