Note this requires 'jq' be installed, and same with the Parsec client. Only tested on macOS.

Updated the gist to now use the new Paperspace API (https://www.paperspace.com/api)

Any way to get parsec to launch(Play) the machine with the script as well?

Dude, been looking for something like this! :)

Running it (zsh) seems to fire up the Paperspace machine and Parsec, but accompanied by an endless stream of parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 10

After it's running tempting to get status seems to hang and also spits out endless parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 10

Unfortunately I don't know enough about debugging this to help fix, but, it would be so awesome to get this up and running properly. :)
