Added a basic API for the data. (Free to use, but include attribution -- http://www.dronehome.io/dji_track/orders.json)

If you're as obsessed with monitoring the shipping statuses of your orders, constantly refreshing the forums, and scanning FedEx/DHL/etc for your shipment, then you might be interested in this. Otherwise, you'll probably have no need for it.

Go to http://www.dronehome.io/dji_track/orders to see the current status of orders in realtime. These statistics are contributed automatically from a custom program running on people's computers for their own orders, or by submitting their order numbers using a web form (http://www.dronehome.io/dji_track/orders/new). I am automatically querying against DJI's order system on regular intervals to update order statuses, retrieve tracking information, and then querying against the shippers to get updated delivery status.

I got tired of seeing everyone's unboxing videos for those who didn't order the bundle. So to pass the time while I wait for my Mavic Fly More bundle, I wrote this little app to help me monitor my order and FedEx passively, rather than have to keep entering details into forms on the web. It was fun to do, helpful to myself, and now it is helpful to others.

I shared this with the Mavic Combo Package thread (http://forum.dji.com/thread-67246-1-1.html) and some people wanted to get it so I shared it out. I'm posting it here in case anyone else finds it useful. The advantage of the DJI Track tool over the spreadsheet that you might have seen is that this tool determines and collects the data automatically, rather than relying on people to post updates to the forum thread and then waiting for someone with admin privileges to manually go through the thread and update the statuses in the spreadsheet.

This tool is realtime, and it is accurate to the last 10 minutes.

Add Your Own Order

Command Line Tool

The command line tool lets you query your DJI order status. You can have it repeat automatically for you so that you don't have to keep logging into DJI's order tracking page manually. This will continue to run until you stop it. And you can choose to publish your data (with the order number truncated and your phone tail never shown) in order to help other people and see where your order is in relation to other people. You do not need to use this command line tool to participate, as the manual form listed above is essentially the same (but you will not see a reoccuring output on your computer like the following screenshots).

Example usage:

Banners_and_Alerts_and_kevinelliott_dji__CLI_and_Ruby_tools_for_drone-maker_DJI_.png

There is also a FedEx search & track by reference:

You can read more about the other features/options of the command line tool (such as having this repeat automatically at an interval), as well as how to install it yourself, here:

https://github.com/kevinelliott/dji

I hope this is helpful to someone. Just having some fun... If you have any issues/questions/etc feel free to comment here or send me a note.

Yeah, so with a tracking number it would be no problem. The FedEx one above is actually for people that don't yet have a tracking number and they can see if there was some packages from DJI coming to their postal code.

I plan to add trackers for FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL by tracking number soon. And then any DJI order that has a tracking number it will automatically look up that data. I'll probably add this a little later today.

In the meantime, I'm still trying to see if I can get DHL to fork up some shipments by generic reference + postal code.

OK guys, there's a new update. The new version is *0.3.0*. See https://github.com/kevinelliott/dji/blob/master/README.md for details.

This version adds some fixes, but also a new *publish* feature, which will contribute your order status to a central database at http://dji-track.herokuapp.com/orders so we can automate the process of seeing when things happen. It will need some improvements, but I think it will be very useful.

Give it a shot and let me know!

OK, I just updated the DJI Track website too. It's not exceptionally pretty, but now we just need more of the existing users of the script to start using the --publish option so the data starts to collect.

That looks like an SSL issue with Rubygems. Usually due to having a certificate chain that contains old master certificates. This isn't a Ruby issue, but a system issue. You are on Windows, right?

The point is to see when others are getting shipment in relation to you, but also to get notified for small changes to your account and order. DJI does *NOT* email you when there are small changes, such as the "Shipped" workflow indicator, change of shipping company (from Tba to something useful), nor when dates change.

And yes, if you are satisfied with waiting around until they finally ship, you will get a tracking number after it has already shipped and they will email you. For those of us in the queue for weeks, that doesn't help us.

Alright folks -- we have a couple more users using the new publish feature, and I have updated the dji gem and the DJI Track website to support more details. Specifically you can provide your original Order Time, your DJI username, your country code (2 or 3 letter preferred), and the rest is pulled. Because the dji app doesn't have access to your private DJI account, we can't grab this stuff automatically.

DJI_Track.png

There is a lot more data available that you aren't seeing here. We'll start exposing it as more data is collected, so we can make some revelations about it all... perhaps "average delivery time", etc.
Later, once a tracking number is available, we'll be able to query for the remaining details, such as origin and destination and estimated delivery dates. As well as delivery status. But that's for later tomorrow once I have some more time.

Also note that both the dji gem and the DJI Track website are open source. If you're the kind of person who has some programming chops, you're more than welcome to hustle over to GitHub, fork it, and provide some merge requests back in.

Great app you've made. I'm running it in my terminal and updating every 2 minutes.

For some reason though, the Heroku instance seems to not be working, it says "We're sorry, but something went wrong. If you are the application owner check the logs for more information." When trying to load http://dji-track.herokuapp.com/orders

One feedback request, maybe an option to specify what was ordered so we can better monitor the bundles as well as the Mavic order.

Hey deano.uk, thanks for the feedback!

OK, so there was a bug where data was submitted with empty values. I've removed that rogue order, and have fixed the site. I will be sending out a new release so that it will not happy again!

Good idea about specifying what was ordered!
