Colissimo
This gem allows you to retrieve tracking information from French Colissimo parcel delivery company. Unfortunatelly you won't get this information in a text format, but in an image format. That's fine for display though.
Usage
Add the colissimo gem to your Gemfile, run the bundle command.
require "colissimo"
tracking_code = "6C07437595437"
rows = Colissimo::Tracker.new(tracking_code).tracking_rows
output = "<table>"
rows.each do |row|
output += " <tr>"
output += " <td><img src='#{row.date_base64_png}' /></td>"
output += " <td><img src='#{row.label_base64_png}' /></td>"
output += " <td><img src='#{row.localization_base64_png}' /></td>"
output += " </tr>"
end
output += "</table>"If you are interested in just the latest status, you can save some bandwidth witht this option:
Colissimo::Tracker.new(tracking_code).tracking_rows(:latest_only => true)
