How to write a custom generating command which can leverage the single input to collect data and write the output as events to an index?

I am trying to find a good tutorial (yes, I have looked at the splunk documents) on writing a custom generating command which will take a single input, leverage the input to collect data (over an API call perhaps) and then write the output as events to an index. I can't seem to find good boiler-plate examples in the SDK, while they do provide templates. Are there any tutorials out there?
