I need to send info from my computer to beeminder. Is there an example somewhere of a simple script or application that can do this? There should be a general method of doing this so we don’t have to “roll our own” scripts every time. ---

You can often do this in one single line with curl. You can see many examples using curl at [http://api.beeminder.com/#beeminder-api-reference](http://api.beeminder.com/#beeminder-api-reference). ---

If you are looking for a desktop application and running Windows 10, you can use [Nectar](http://forum.beeminder.com/t/new-mobile-app-android-ios-windows-plus-7-new-integrations/3421). If you are looking to write a cross platform command line script, you can use cURL (which even [works in Windows now](https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/12/19/tar-and-curl-come-to-windows/)), as suggested above. ---

No, Windows 7, but I have MinGW installed so I should be able to do it through that. ---

You can always just download cURL: [https://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win64](https://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win64) ---
