Going that route is a possibility but we're trying to work directly with the couriers so we've got more control over the data. Page scraping is the last resort. @Bavster: That widget basically scrapes a page for the data.

I would assume it would be just getting the right URL and appending the querystring? Not 100% sure though Just a heads up.. hi josh,

The problem is that most of the other couriers don't offer any sort of API to tie in to their system. It's something we're working on, but it will be a little while before it's ready. @Bavster: Easier said than done.
