> I don't know how I can be more specific than this, but moderator's comment says (after chiding me for looking for free code/script writing service) that I must mention what I have tried so far, show my code, and explain where I am stuck.

Indicating we are not a script writing service is not "being critical of" you, it's simply to inform you, questions seeking a script to do something are not within scope.

> Is there a forum on Stack Exchange where it is ok to request an API/command with certain functionality?

Stack Exchange communities are not forums.  Questions that encourage discussions are typically closed.
