This is the output I receive via curl. I want to save 'playcount' in a variable.
How do I loop through tracks[] to get the strings 'playcount' and save them so I can form the sum?
I've spend a lot of time figuring it out with jq
but nothing really worked out..
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"track_count": 2,
"discs": [
{
"number": 1,
"name": "",
"tracks": [
{
"album_id": "u2hh2n2b7fo20v46cbe",
"playcount": 17212,
"name": "World Savior",
"number": 1,
"duration": 341,
},
{
"album_id": "jk299sdhjahj991nbwd",
"playcount": 9812,
"name": "Tower",
"number": 2,
"duration": 281,
}
]
}
],
"month": 11,
"day": 26,
"year": 2021,
"type": "single",
}
}

If you want the list of playcount
values, you just have to drill down to the right content:
jq '.data.discs[].tracks[].playcount'
If you want their sum, make an array of that and add
its entries:
jq '[.data.discs[].tracks[].playcount]|add'
