Hi all. I have a number of goals that I have to keep entering data manually for on the BM app. I don’t particularly enjoy using that layout and I was wondering if there was a way for me to use alfred ([http://alfredapp.com/](http://alfredapp.com/)) to feed my data into BM. I’m not a Developer and so far I have not been able to find a resource to help with the workflow. So I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I’d be very happy to learn of other ways to enter data that are more command line and less GUI. Basically anything that will make it quicker and less cumbersome for me. Thanks a lot! ---

Nitin, You might want to look at these: > **[WebService::Beeminder - Access the Beeminder API - metacpan.org](https://metacpan.org/pod/WebService::Beeminder)** > > Access the Beeminder API > **[lydgate/bmndr](https://github.com/lydgate/bmndr)** > > Simple python CLI for beeminder.com. Contribute to lydgate/bmndr development by creating an account on GitHub. I use them both on my Mac on the command line, either directly or in my own scripts. The latter one especially is very convenient by itself for adding data and getting a quick text summary of one or all goals. Alys ---

D’aww! WebService::Beeminder is my work, so I’m really glad to hear you’re finding it useful! (New release just pushed to CPAN, although the changes are just in tests, docs, and metadata.) Paul ---

I started an Alfred workflow, but quickly reached the point where it was sufficient for my needs at the time, so never packaged it or automated the list of goals. But if they’re useful for anyone, as inspiration or reuse, I’ve attached them. I also know that Shashi was working on something similar. I’ve also got some automated rules using Hazel, in particular for merging my tagtime files and pushing to Beeminder. Shout if you want them. Philip ---

That reminds me, I recently updated the links to hackery like this at [blog.beeminder.com/api](http://blog.beeminder.com/api) ---

Hi guys, thanks a lot for sharing all this super useful information. Philip, i’d love to try out your hazel rule to see how I could use that. Nitin ---

Hi Nitin, I’ve attached my beeminder-related hazel rules. They may not be directly useful to you, but may give you some ideas. One rule is tied to counting the size of my Mail.app inbox. (Sadly it counts all mail, not just read items. My baby-applescript wasn’t up to the task.) The other rule is tied to my multi-host hack of tagtime. If there’s interest in that, I’ll clean it up and get it on github. (Caveat: it works for me, with my Mac & iOS & Dropbox setup. If anything, it’s less friendly than the original.) If you do anything nifty, let us know. Philip ---

Wow! Thanks so much for the amazing assistance Philip! I’ll take a look when I’m on my computer and respond. You’re awesome! Nitin ---
