That one time I tried to hack pasta from Olive Garden's PastaPass.com site

Pasta_Logger.py

    with open(log, 'a') as logfile:
        logfile.write('{} - {}\n'.format(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), msg))

while True:
    headers = { 'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0' }
    time.sleep(1)
    api = json.loads(requests.get('https://api.pastapass.com/home/available', headers=headers).text)
    logger(api)
    print('{} - {}\n'.format(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'), api))
    if api['pastaPassSoldOut'] is True and api['pastaPassportSoldOut'] is True:
        sys.exit(1)
