Yes, I understanding working with JSON. I do it nearly daily (read, modify, update, write, between client and server)

FWIW,

If I was going to use the same API to modify and update JSON as you are doing, I would write a quick app with either PHP (if I did not need any UI), or I would develop with with Vue.js if I needed a web UI.

PHP processes JSON much better than bash and can easily update as well with very simple tools to pull and push files from the net built in, obviously.

Vue.js with extensions like Axios and Vuex is so rich in features for processing JSON across the net that comparing it to bash would be like comparing the Starship Enterprise to a flat bottom wooden boat (at worse) or at best (and being generous) an antique car.

Anyway, I realize a lot of people like to use these old tech tools from decades past and build an infrastructure around it to make it work; but honestly when working with JSON across the net as you are doing, there are much better tools than command line jq, curl, wget and bash, I promise Smilie

Anyway, I think I understand the reason you are using bash, curl and jq.... you are comfortable with those tools and that's cool too Smilie . I used to use those tools (excessively) between 15 and 5 years ago, so I understand and might use them again if I was forced to. However, I have noticed a seismic shift in JSON processing, including the use of Firebase and JSON-based NOSQL repos.

PS: At least use Postman to analyze your API calls. Postman is one of the single most productivity enhancing tools out where when working with JSON APIs.

json_write

json::write(n)							       JSON							    json::write(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       json::write - JSON generation

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.5

       package require json::write  ?1?

       ::json::write indented

       ::json::write indented flag

       ::json::write aligned

       ::json::write aligned flag

       ::json::write string s

       ::json::write array arg...

       ::json::write object key value...

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  json::write package provides a simple Tcl-only library for generation of text in the JSON http://www.json.org/ data exchange format as
       specified in RFC 4627 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt.

COMMANDS

       ::json::write indented
	      This method returns the current state of the indentation setting.

       ::json::write indented flag
	      This and the method aligned configure the layout of the JSON generated by the package.

	      If this flag is set (default) the package will break the generated JSON code across lines and  indent  it  according  to	its  inner
	      structure, with each key of an object on a separate line.

	      If this flag is not set, the whole JSON object will be written on a single line, with minimum spacing between all elements.

       ::json::write aligned
	      This method returns the current state of the alignment setting.

       ::json::write aligned flag
	      This and the method indented configure the layout of the JSON generated by the package.

	      If  this flag is set (default) the package ensures that the values for the keys in an object are vertically aligned with each other,
	      for a nice table effect. To make this work this also implies that indented is set as well.

	      If this flag is not set, the output is formatted as per the value of indented, without trying to align the values for object keys.

       ::json::write string s
	      This method takes the string s and returns it properly quoted for JSON as its result.

       ::json::write array arg...
	      This method takes a series of JSON formatted arguments and returns them as a properly formatted JSON array as its result.

       ::json::write object key value...
	      This method takes a series of key/value arguments, the values already formatted for JSON, and returns them as a  properly  formatted
	      JSON object as its result, with the keys formatted as JSON strings.
