Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

CLI tool to fetch and display your AliExpress order history using browser cookies

Readme

@mpelka/aliorders

CLI tool to fetch and display your AliExpress order history, including tracking info, by using the internal web API.

Requirements

  • macOS (cookie extraction uses Chrome's local database)
  • Google Chrome with an active AliExpress login
  • Bun runtime

Install

# From npm
npm install -g @mpelka/aliorders

# Or clone and run directly
git clone https://github.com/mpelka/aliorders.git
cd aliorders
bun install
bun link

Usage

aliorders                     # Show active orders (default)
aliorders -s all              # Show all orders including completed
aliorders -s shipped          # Filter by status
aliorders -s completed        # Show completed orders
aliorders -n 20               # Fetch up to 20 orders
aliorders -p 2                # Show page 2
aliorders --json              # Output as JSON for scripting/agents
aliorders --no-details        # Skip tracking lookups (faster)
aliorders statuses            # List all status filters

By default, only active orders are shown (awaiting payment, awaiting shipment, in transit). Use -s all to include completed and cancelled orders.

Status filters

| Filter | Aliases | Description | |-------------|----------------------|------------------------| | all | | All orders (no filter) | | waitpay | paying | Awaiting payment | | waitsend | shipping | Awaiting shipment | | waitaccept| shipped, transit | Shipped / In transit | | finish | completed, done | Completed | | close | cancelled | Cancelled / Closed |

JSON output

Use --json to get structured output, useful for piping to jq or feeding to LLM agents:

aliorders --json | jq '.[].status'
aliorders --json --no-details    # Faster, skips tracking API calls

Exit codes

| Code | Meaning | |------|-----------------| | 0 | Success | | 1 | Error | | 2 | No orders found |

How it works

Every run extracts fresh authentication cookies directly from Chrome's local database for aliexpress.com. These cookies are used to sign requests to AliExpress's internal API endpoints. Nothing is persisted to disk — cookies are always read fresh from Chrome.

Troubleshooting

Token expired / empty response: Visit aliexpress.com in Chrome and browse around (this refreshes the auth token), then run again.

Security

Cookies are read directly from Chrome's database and held in memory only for the duration of the command. Nothing is written to disk.
