@apolyton I think you mentioned this one before Beeminder for BitBar?

I actually found your post because of this one and tried BitBar. There is a plugin for BitBar I found related to beeminder (also you can check the code in github here)

Also I tweaked it a bit so it looks like this:

shows the nearest goal to derail in the menu bar. But the whole logic is credit for Ben. Thanks a lot Ben if you see this! :smile: https://getbitbar.com/contributors/bcongdon

This is the code tweaked I have in case you want it:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# <bitbar.title>Beeminder</bitbar.title>
# <bitbar.version>v1.0</bitbar.version>
# <bitbar.author>Ben Congdon</bitbar.author>

import requests

# NOTE: Change these to set your credentials
USERNAME = 'your_username'
AUTH_TOKEN = 'your_api_key' # you can find it in https://www.beeminder.com/api/v1/auth_token.json

# Don't change anythine below this line
if not USERNAME or not AUTH_TOKEN:
  print('āš ļø\n---\nBeeminder: No username and/or auth token provided!')
  exit(1)
API_URL = 'https://www.beeminder.com/api/v1/users/{}.json'.format(USERNAME)

req = requests.get(API_URL, params=dict(auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN, datapoints_count=1, associations=True))

data = req.json()
goals = data['goals']

output = '{} for {}|color={} font=Monaco\n---\n'.format(goals[0]['limsumdate'], goals[0]['slug'], goals[0]['roadstatuscolor'])
  
max_slug_len = max(len(goal['slug']) + 1 for goal in goals)

for goal in goals:
  if goal.get('coasting'):
    continue

  goal_url = 'https://www.beeminder.com/{}/{}'.format(USERNAME, goal['slug'])

  output += "{}".format(goal['limsumdate'].ljust(27)) + " {}".format(goal['slug'].rjust(21)) + "|href={} color={} font=Monaco\n".format(goal_url, goal['roadstatuscolor'])

print(output)

I remember I needed to install requests package for python using pip. This article might help you with that.

Iā€™m trying also to get data from Rescuetime now. I found another plugin for it but Iā€™m looking to get my daily time spent in a particular category instead of my productivity pulse. If you find a way to get that would it be cool!
