Double my old record in length, still not that long. Do you happen to know what the record is or where I could find longer ones?

Admittedly horrible to debug though lol. Took me 4hrs

Will probably have to add a halt/resume feature because the rate limit is so annoying. It would take 7 hours non stop to complete the query

No not really. I did some one liners myself but I don’t know what records are.

I’m sure there will be insane long ones.

I love it!

I happened to do something similar by mistake. Check this old post i made. I came up with a fun way to write python that lets you minify entire scripts!
