}Notes
- Source: Hongkong Post's web chatbot ("Talk2Elain").
lastscannedopens a chat session, walks its menu (English, mail tracing, tracking) and sends the number; the reply states the latest status and its time. - Single event: the chatbot gives only the latest status, so there is one event. "The system has no record of the mail item" is reported as not found.
- Time zone: the time is read as
Asia/Hong_Kong. Each lookup uses ten small requests, so allow a couple of seconds.
