jq
The Endor Labs REST API returns results in json format so it is often convenient to use thejq command-line json processor to parse or format the results.
The following example shows how to use jq to extract just the description value from the above request:
- endorctl
- curl
Lists of objects are always nested under
.list.objects[], but endorctl api get returns a single object directly.
To extract the object UUID from an object returned by an endorctl api get command, the jq command is jq '.uuid', as opposed to jq '.list.objects[].uuid'.
