POST request in rainmeter

[Krishneel Chand]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum but is there a way I can get data by sending POST request?
I want to view the amount of data I have left in my cellular account so POST request with other info such as account number will be sent to get the information about the data available and the expiry date of the account.

Please help

This is not something that native Rainmeter, ala WebParser can do. I think you would have to investigate using cURL as an external process with the RunCommand plugin to have any chance of doing this.

Hey, thank you. So I have created a bash script with curl and have managed to get everything running. Just I wanted to know if I can automatically run this bash file at internals to get he data updated?
I have briefly went through the runcommand plugin but it seems it requires a manual left click action.
Looking for suggestions to make it fully automatic

Given an Update rate of 1000, this loop would execute every 60 seconds.
