API endpoint to fetch latest statuses?

Author	Topic
grrgyle	Posted 2025-02-27 21:52:29 I'm trying to make a little kind of news ticker for polybar to show the latest status every few minutes. I know I can do like: GET https://status.cafe/users/grrgyle/status.json to get my status, but is there an endpoint like (just an example): GET https://status.cafe/status.json where I could just get the last status submitted, like what appears at the top of the page when visiting https://status.cafe/ ?
grrgyle	Posted 2025-02-27 22:28:50 curl https://status.cafe/users/$(curl https://status.cafe -o - \|htmlq 'article > div'\|& head -1\|sed -nE 's/<div class="status-username"><a href="\/users\/(.)"./\1/p')/status.json What am I even doing with my life... 🙈 this uses https://github.com/mgdm/htmlq#readme paired with my absolute lack of shame. Will delete if this kind of scraping is against policy.

curl https://status.cafe/users/$(curl https://status.cafe -o - |htmlq 'article > div'|& head -1|sed -nE 's/<div class="status-username"><a href="\/users\/(.*)".*/\1/p')/status.json
