View random ngrok URL when run in background

Question

When I start an ngrok client with ./ngrok tcp 22 it runs in the foreground and I can see the randoming generated forwarding URL, such as tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:

Answer 1

import json
import requests


def get_ngrok_url():
    url = "http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels/"
    res = requests.get(url)
    res_unicode = res.content.decode("utf-8")
    res_json = json.loads(res_unicode)
    for i in res_json["tunnels"]:
        if i['name'] == 'command_line':
            return i['public_url']
            break

This is an edit of JUN_NETWORKS python 3 code. It outputs the HTTPS URL only. I find Ngrok will randomly change the order of which is URL is displayed first sometimes outputting HTTP. The additional loop will consistently look for the 'tunnel' named 'command_line' which is the HTTPS URL.
