And how would I use it in a script?

My version, with many more options, is at

I don't want to have to go to a website which I cannot automate
when I can have a simple program (script or otherwise) that can do
the the same job and more in much less time, and that can be
included in a script (which is where it will most likely be
needed).

Yes, we know. We've seen your link several times now. You're going past
"informative" and into "pest". Not a good way to build traffic.

Yes, but didn't you say that part of the point was to avoid having
to run anything locally? If I'm going to write something to script
downloading a password from you, I might as well just generate the password
myself. That solution also doesn't work for systems which aren't connected
to the internet. Besides, given that an endless stream of passwords is as
close as 'strings /dev/urandom', I don't see the need for anything much
more involved.
