Why jq hard (it probably isn't but I am trying to take shortcuts and make a solution that works without knowing too much what I am exactly doing :p)

@MagicLike jq is a waste of time tbh

@catraxx then please give me a better and easier option to process JSON

@MagicLike Process it how? Just adding the json into an array or something?

@catraxx no, taking the JSON out of an API (via curl), then extracting all array objects with a specific value of one property and then extracting a code out of another property in those already extracted objects. Those codes then need to be inserted into a POST request one by one.

@catraxx this resembles somewhat the JSON input I am working with

{
    ...
    "results": [
        {
            "code": "CODE1",
            ...
            "status": "y",
           ...
        },
        {
            "code": "CODE2",
            ...
            "status": "n",
            ...
        }
    ]
}

@MagicLike Axios can be used for api communication. If you simply safe the output to a json file you can then just fetch it, which caches the data and you can iterate it normally.

@catraxx okay what is axios o.o
(I am trying to do all of this in a bash/shell script)

@catraxx okay uhhm I need this to not be JS, but rather independent and preferably just a cronjob-triggered script

@MagicLike In a shell script? I thouught we were talking about jquery because you mentioned javascript earlier. In shell it should be easier?

@MagicLike Right, as i just said, jq means two things lol
