I am creating an integration between two websites my company uses to track data. The API for one of the sites (Monday.com) has returned a json with several smaller json values stored as strings inside of it. I am having trouble parsing these values without calling fromjson individually on every single value.
The json I am receiving is formatted like:
[ {"name": "xxxxxxxxxxx","percentage": "\"80\"","Status": "{\"index\":1,\"post_id\":null,\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-29T14:44:50.305Z\"}","Timeline": "{\"from\":\"2019-07-03\",\"to\":\"2019-07-25\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-29T14:55:39.487Z\"}","Interview Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-03\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T19:56:01.004Z\"}","Credentials Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-02\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T19:57:39.021Z\"}","Skills Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-24\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T19:55:10.847Z\"}","orientation Date": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-25\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T19:55:07.670Z\"}","Hire Date": null }, {"name": "yyyyyyyyyyyy","percentage": null,"Status": "{\"index\":1,\"post_id\":null,\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-26T22:57:31.250Z\"}","Timeline": "{\"from\":\"2019-07-17\",\"to\":\"2019-07-26\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T20:13:58.253Z\"}","Interview Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-17\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T20:13:03.218Z\"}","Credentials Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-24\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-25T16:12:40.484Z\"}","Skills Done": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-17\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T20:13:29.884Z\"}","orientation Date": "{\"date\":\"2019-07-25\",\"changed_at\":\"2019-07-23T20:11:52.848Z\"}","Hire Date": null }]Is there a way to use a combination of Batch and jq in order to properly format this JSON as one large nested json, rather than a json containing several string formatted jsons?
I am struggling to parse the json dynamically as part of a batch script which fetches the json first, and then processes it before posting it to another API.
I have successfully parsed each thing individually using singular jq commands such as myjson.json | jq . | jq .[].Timeline fromjson
