json parsing with JQ not working

[babadoctor]

no matter what I do i can't parse a json file from twitch to get a certain attribute... (the url attribute)

 

can someone please help me?

 

here is an example of the JSON

https://hastebin.com/ripesuwico.json

 

prettyprinted it looks like this

 

https://hastebin.com/awejamoqar.json

 

Is this JSON even RFC compliant???? the fuck is wrong with twitch???

 

 

Videos is a correct attribute, but everything else is just kind of mangled together underneath the videos attribute. 

 

jq '.videos' output.json 

this command works printing out everything under the .videos attribute

but thats the only thing i could get to work... I want the url line on every single object

 

looks like this on one

 

"url":"https://www.twitch.tv/videos/174631661"

 

Why can't I get this to work?

The JSON parses fine.
http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/
pop it in that and it will parse.

What are you using to parse it? JavaScript, PHP?
please post the code you're using in order to parse it.

I am using the unix program JQ

 

here is the code:

 

jq '.videos' output.json 

https://shapeshed.com/jq-json/#how-to-pretty-print-json

Haven't used that before but try this:
 

jq '.videos[].url' output.json
