Get Tracking info from Courier

The goal of this challenge is to get the tracking information from the courier's system.

There are 3 tests:

www.usps.com: 9102999999302024326992
www.hongkongpost.com: CP889331175HK
www.dpd.co.uk: 15502370264989N

The Output Format

The first thing you should do is read test/index.js. It is the canonical reference. As long as your crawler correctly implements the reference tests, it is considered a correct solution.

Usage

Instructions

1. Clone this repository to your own Github public repository and development machine. Do NOT fork, as other candidates would be able to see your solution. Do preserve commit history so it is easy for us to add your repository as a remote.
2. Send us a link to the public repository you used and an estimate of how long you will take
3. Run npm install
4. Implement Courier in lib/index.js
5. Ensure all tests pass in node via npm test
6. When finished, send us an email to ask for a review

Hints

• Before starting, try to see how AfterShip API work, you will get a better idea what tracking info should return.
• You can use ANY method to get the tracking result, including API, web crawler, or even you paid someone else to code for you. LoL

Scoring

There is no scoring at all.

What we want to know is HOW do you solve the problems.

However,

You will be graded on how easy-to-{read,maintain,verify} your code and documentation are. Really think from the perspective of what would happen if we had to actually integrate your code into our production environment.

Ideally your solution is easily extensible as we add additional types of test cases.
