        # fetch-all-the-things 

![fetch all the things](fetch-all-the-things.png)

A list of scripts and programs that can fetch information and print it to `stdout`. Possible use cases for such utilities:

- Check information on the CLI

- For use in custom fetch scripts

- For use in notifications

- For use in status bars

Please open an issue or send a pull request to add to the list or report entries that are outdated or shouldn't be on the list in the first place.

# Collections

These are projects that contain a multitude of fetch scripts / programs. Note that, depending on their intended purpose, some of these might have additional files and/or functionality that goes beyond printing information to stdout. It should still be possible to use them for that, however.
