 While `reduce` processes lists, the [`generate`](/commands/docs/generate.md) command can be used with arbitrary sources such as external REST APIs, also without requiring mutable variables. Here's an example that retrieves local weather data every hour and generates a continuous list from that data. The `each` command can be used to consume each new list item as it becomes available.
 
 ```nu
-generate khot {|weather_station|
+generate {|weather_station|
