Consuming Web API JSON Data Using curl and jq

[Dave Johnson]

I explore curl and jq in bash to consume and process JSON Web API data. The article covers setting up a Linux environment, using curl to retrieve JSON data from a weather microservice, and then using jq to format, filter, and sort that data. It additionally goes over retrieving single and multiple attributes, working with JSON arrays, and using conditional logic within jq to refine the output. The article also demonstrates how to retrieve data from a weather forecast API which returns an array of JSON objects.
