Questions[json](ubuntu)

Hello I've been using this:

curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=6361046&APPID=6be5e3a6e62680c28044791e8fc7b568&units=metric" -o ~/.cache/weather.json

to write a weather.json file in my cache folder. the output is this. the problem is that it's only in 1 line and I'm trying to use grep to get an output of the icon value of today:

{"cod":"200","message":0,"cnt":40,"list":[{"dt":1574629200,"main":{"temp":12.8,"temp_min":12.8,"temp_max":13.07,"pressure":1020,"sea_level":1020,"grnd_level":1012,"humidity":82,"temp_kf":-0.27},"weather":[{"id":804,"main":"Clouds","description":"overcast clouds","icon":"04n"}]

which in this case is "04n" so I can use something like this:

~/.weather-icons/$(grep "icon" ~/.cache/weather.json).png

that would output ~/.weather-icons/04n.png so I can use the icon from my folder with the same name as the icon value to display in conky using $image. My question is how can i get this done? I don't know if there is a better command to read a file.json using the parameters shown here or if there is a way I can use grep to just output the icon value. Thanks

I have both Windows Terminal and Ubuntu installed from the Microsoft Store inside of Windows 10 (I don't know if this is WSL Version 1 or Version 2. The wsl -l -v command failed.).

My default directory is set to the right directory but it always opens up to root. How can I fix this config?

I'm trying to send a POST request with curl, but I'd like to store the json data in a variable in order to resend it if an error occur. I used this code:

jsonvariable="{"ora" : "value1", "temp" : "value2", "rh" : "value3", "lat" : "value4", "longi" : "value5"}"


curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '$jsonvariable' http://localhost:8080/updates

but the format after the -d option is not correct. Can you help me?

this code:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"ora" : "value1", "id" : "value2", "temp" : "value3","rh" : "value4", "lat" : "value5", "longi" : "value6"}' http://localhost:8080/updates

gives no errors instead

I have a need to modify large JSON files that choke most editors (meaning: most editors will take a long time to open the file, and even after the file is loaded, the editor will become unresponsive while I'm attempting to make modifications).

The only program I've found, that can actually handle the files is JSON Buddy, but they don't offer a Linux version I can purchase. So, I'm having to run a Windows virtual machine to use this tool.

I suspect Linux does offer tools that can efficiently modify large files. However, JSON Buddy also provides some helpful features for formatting the JSON file in a manner that is human-friendly while editing.

I'm basically looking for a tool that can:

1. open large files instantly (because it doesn't have to load them into RAM before opening them).
2. present the json in an un-minimized well-formatted view during my modifications.
3. save the JSON file minimized.

If a tool like this exists, that runs on Linux, I have wallet in hand and I'm ready to make a purchase.

Please advise.

I need set into variable true/false value and send him into json with curl command:

name=$1
sx=$2

`curl -d '{"name":"'"$name"'", "sex":true}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8080/setacc`

Variable sx accepts the value male or female how to set the appropriate boolean value into sex variable?
