Entered the thread for a different reason. No, I don't really find building the API request complicated. I mean, it is but they provide a python example that I was easily able to get working in lua without major issues. And you spend

All the time. I don't have an outrageous salary (£40k/yr) but I have such an easy-going schedule and light workload. If I need to do a life errand I don't have to plan and can go out and do it. If I didn't sleep well and
