About Event

In this session, Larry will discuss how he uses jq to get reports out of various OCLC APIs (Knowledge Base, License Manager, Acquisitions) and his efforts to develop a "generic bulk update" script in Python that will make it possible to update lists of records from any module that provides an "update" route in its API. jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor that provides a uniform and declarative way to isolate and modify pieces of a JSON record, or transform JSON in one shape into JSON in another shape or into CSV. Within jq, there are bindings for other languages—including Python and JavaScript—so that transformations written for one script can be reused easily, even in scripts written in another language. Also, jq transformations are easy to test online using jq play, or in an editor like VSCode.
