You need to install cURL previously.

Hi oukayuka. can you please help me out in adapting your script to have some additional functionality? I am interested in creating a fixed number of accounts, modifying all of them with a preset NAME and PASSWORD and then, when I need, to delete all of them.

For example: create account A > modify account A to have a specific name/password > (when needed) delete account A.

Unfortunately I can't seem to understand how to save the ID I receive when I first create the account (I see it in the console but can't find a proper way to extract it) and then, based on that ID, to change the account name and password. I know this script is old but it still works without any issue so far. I am just not that technical :(
