This flow checks the current Internet Speed and logs the data to a json file. Can be used as evidence for your internet provider if your speed is lower as your contract says.

thank you for pointing that out. I updated the readme
I'm trying to install Speed Test with the following NPM command on my raspberry with the Raspbian operating system
I enter as super user "sudo su"
And I try to install it with the command
root@raspberrypi: /home/pi #npm install speedtest_cli
`root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# npm install speedtest_cli
npm ERR! 404 Not Found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 'speedtest_cli' is not in the npm registry.

I use the following command to check
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# speed-test --help
Test your internet connection speed and ping using speedtest.net from the CLI
Usage
$ speed-test
Options
-j, --json Output the result as JSON
-b, --bytes Output the result in megabytes per second (MBps)
-v, --verbose Output more detailed information
Thanks for this flow, works great. Just one tweak required, the file speedtest-cli.py has been depreciated and is now called speedtest.py.
Once I made that change, everything worked as expected. (Caused me to stumble a bit since speedtest-cli is still on their servers, but throws a 'this file is depreciated' message rather than fully failing - this causes a JSON parse error which I thought was in the flow).
