AliLedge

A command-line tool that tracks your AliExpress order status without requiring the app, an account login in a browser, or dealing with AliExpress’s notification spam.

Why

AliExpress’s tracking UX is genuinely bad. Orders are spread across multiple pages, the app is aggressive with notifications, and the website is slow. I order a lot of small components for electronics projects and wanted a single aliledge status command that shows me everything in a clean list.

How it works

AliLedge uses your session cookies (exported from the browser) to authenticate and scrapes the orders API. Tracking data is cached locally so repeated calls don’t hammer their servers.

# First run — import cookies from browser
aliledge auth --browser firefox

# Check all active orders
aliledge status

# Track a specific order
aliledge track 8161234567890

# Export to CSV
aliledge export --format csv > orders.csv

Status

This is a work in progress. The auth flow works reliably on Firefox. Chrome support is partially implemented. The tracking data parsing breaks occasionally when AliExpress changes their API response format — I fix it when I notice.
