Pickup Lines API

This is a very simple express app that returns a single pickup line randomly selected from the all-lines.json file. The shape of the object is:

interface line {
  line: string;
  category: string[];
}

Use Case

I have an Apple Shortcut set up to text my wife one of these pickup lines every day at 3:35 PM. Here's how it's configured:

• Get the contents of the api. I have it hosted on Glitch.com
• Get Value for line in Contents of URL
• Send Dictionary Value to [my wife's contact in my phone]

There is a script in the script folder to convert this RSS format to the shape above. I have removed the Dirty Lines and the Mean Lines. Feel free to customize for your need.
