This is the text version of my LISA mini-tutorial on gluing together web-api's with bash, curl, and JQ.
Section 0 Covers some curl intricacies and introduces JQ
Section 1 Begins our crash-course in JQ by exploring some output from the aws cli
Section 2 Shows you how to select-out and filter json objects to get just want you need
Section 3 A short digression into checking if one thingy is inside another thingy
Section 4 Shows you how to re-form existing json structures into new ones, and introduces the map() filter.
Section 5 Comes full circle, using JQ, curl, and bash to glue together some third party API's and make some interesting tools.
