Possible solutions

• External program
  • Could be written using Python or otherwise, that way I could take advantage of existing libraries such as genshin.py which are actively maintained libraries interfacing with the API I need to access
  • Cons: would require compilation and maintenance of that separate program. Not a big deal considering this would be a small CLI program depending on a library or two but still
• Writing the whole thing in Lua and executing using Rainmeter's built in support
  • ... I kinda dislike using Lua so would rather not?
  • Would require same caretaking as the external program but since Lua is embedded into Rainmeter we don't have to worry about packaging, just shipping source files. Probably the easiest thing if we're concerned about shipping.
  • Rainmeter's Lua embedding doesn't support compiled libraries such as Lua-cURL so we'll need to use pure Lua libraries only
• Built in Rainmeter web support
  • This is likely way out of scope for what Rainmeter supports but could look into it regardless
