Yes. GET https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/:number?carrier=anpost returns An Post tracking as JSON, in the same shape as every other carrier lastscanned covers. Sign up for a free key with 5 lookups a day, or Pro for $4.99 a month with 1,000 numbers.
What does a An Post tracking number look like?
UPU S10: AA123456785IE. For example CY123456785IE. lastscanned recognizes these formats on its own, so ?carrier=anpost is optional for them.

Tracking pages are for people. This is for your code.

Every carrier shows a parcel differently. lastscanned reads them all and answers in one shape, so your app, your spreadsheet or your agent handles any carrier the same way.
