Why are you doing this with a shell script?
Is this homework at school?
Web developers do not do this "grab JSON from the net and process it" using shell because there are more modern tools and languages to do this. CGI and shell was used decades ago. Now, we use modern tools made for this kind of processing.
So, I kindly ask you again, why are you doing this using a shell script like bash?
What are you planning to do with the data after you retrieve it using a RESTFUL API?
Do you want to block the processing (the script) while waiting for the network call to return?
If so, why are you not doing this API call asynchronously using an AJAX function? Or more "2019'ish", with an asynchronous promise?
