Description
Is it possible write the creation/update date of the “generated_files.json” file in the “generated_files.json” file? So you can use it the check if there are any updates/changes?
Example:
{
"domains":
[
"123mail.dk",
"126.com",
"12fuel.dk",
"12mail.dk",
"12move.dk",
"163.com",
"2die4.com",
...
],
"created": "2026-03-09T20:52:43.511Z"
}
