# This is script that will generate a defined number of Flowcodes from a starting to an end number, set with a fixed destination
# It uses a loop to create a codes array and makes a POST API request to the Flowcode JSON bulk endpoint: https://gateway.flowcode.com/v4/codes/bulk
# If the POST request returns a 202 response, it will return a bulk task_id which the script will check every few seconds for a few minutes
