Disclaimer

This is something that I use often and therefore decided to share, there are some limitations to the service. I advise on going to https://macvendors.com/ to get more information about the service and open an account there for paid unlimited querying. After that you may edit the script to add auth details. This repo only intends on helping to add it to command prompt and powershell either with the free plan or after you have setup your account.
