+1 for jq. It is so useful for mucking about with API responses. I used it to write a bash script that acts as a NAGIOS plugin for spotting changes in our Digital Ocean server and DNS configs - curl to pull from the API, jq to strip out the bits we don't care for, and sed to put actual newlines in instead of \n. We had Cisco as a customer, and infrastructure change-monitoring was one of their infosec team's requirements... that was part of our solution.
