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.
