Re^4: polishing up a json fetching script for weather data

I very strongly recommend against doing it this way, for several reasons: First, you're using the shell's features, namely piping a file into jq when that's not necessary - jq filter files works just as well.

I've read and worked through your post on varying system calls and am glad to have another link to it. The system call was a band-aid, because jq can't seem to do anything directly:

$ pwd
/home/hogan/Documents/hogan/json_stuff
$ ls
1.openapi.json  2.weather.json      russian-words.json
1.weather.json  countries.geo.json  snapshots
$ jq '.' 1.openapi.json 
jq: error: Could not open file 1.openapi.json: Permission denied
$
[download]

Apparently I used 'snap' to install it:

$ history | grep jq
 1376  curl 'https://api.github.com/repos/stedolan/jq/commits?per_page
+=5'
 1377  jq '.[] | {message: .commit.message, name: .commit.committer.na
+me}'
 1378  sudo snap install jq
[download]

I tried to raise priveleges with:

 1429  chmod a+x snap/bin/jq
 1430  chmod a+x /snap/bin/jq
 1431  sudo chmod a+x /snap/bin/jq
[download]

, without success (??)

`jq: error: Could not open file 1.openapi.json: Permission denied` It's complaining about the file `1.openapi.json`, not the `jq` executable; try `chmod a+r 1.openapi.json` (if you don't mind giving everyone read access).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
