@nwaughachukwuma We modified it to not use read and instead use a singular jq process to parse the output. This ended up being a lot faster.

@TooTallNate Could you give us the whole script, please 🥺 🙏 ?

Is there a version -- or another tool -- that provides CLI access without registration? (Like running as "Unregistered" in a browser)
