&lt;p>&lt;code>amazon-orders&lt;/code> is an unofficial library that provides a Python API (and CLI) for Amazon order history.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This package works by parsing data from Amazon&amp;rsquo;s consumer-facing website. A periodic build validates functionality to ensure its stability, but as Amazon provides no official API to use, this package may break at any time. Pin the &lt;a href="https://semver.org/">minor version&lt;/a> with a wildcard (ex. &lt;code>==4.0.*&lt;/code>, not &lt;code>==4.0.7&lt;/code>)—or reinstall with the &lt;code>--upgrade&lt;/code> (as shown below) often—to ensure you always get the latest stable release.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>java-ngrok - a Java wrapper for ngrok</title><link>https://alexlaird.com/2021/08/java-ngrok-a-java-wrapper-for-ngrok/</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://alexlaird.com/2021/08/java-ngrok-a-java-wrapper-for-ngrok/</guid><description>&lt;p>&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falexdlaird%2Fjava-ngrok%2Fraw%2Fmain%2Flogo.png">&lt;img alt="java-ngrok - a Java wrapper for ngrok" loading="lazy" src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falexdlaird%2Fjava-ngrok%2Fraw%2Fmain%2Flogo.png">&lt;/a>&lt;/p>
