I'm trying to filter JSON file after I'm pulling it over Curl using JQ to have only Youtube video "id" printed with jq from Ubuntu shell, with no luck I need to have XEJLuJyxLDE after "id": only , pretty long list and I'm very new to linux and jq. Thanks for help. My command now is which doesn't work curl -s 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?chart=mostPopular&locale=RU&maxResults=50&key=MY_API_HERE' --header 'Accept: application/json' | jq ".id"
