A quick and bad bash script to help Harry log an API.
Raw
api_log.sh
#!/bin/bash
## date format to log the time of the pull##
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
## change this to wherever you want your log stored
echo ""API pull at "$NOW" >> ~/Documents/API.txt
## update your curl here, obviously use same file
curl -X "GET" "http://www.google.com" >> ~/Documents/API.txt
## this is a lame way to create line breaks. having issue with echo and zsh, so used printf like a newb
printf '\n\n' >> ~/Documents/API.txt
