**FocusTime API:**
```bash
# Start FocusTime session (requires Premium)
curl -s -X POST "https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/focustime/start" \
    -d "key=$RESCUETIME_API_KEY" \
    -d "duration=60" | jq  # 60 minutes

# End FocusTime session
curl -s -X POST "https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/focustime/end" \
    -d "key=$RESCUETIME_API_KEY" | jq

# Get current FocusTime status
curl -s "https://www.rescuetime.com/anapi/focustime/status" \
    -d "key=$RESCUETIME_API_KEY" | jq
```
