As I couldn't use:
curl https://dev.to/api/articles/ | grep -oP '(?<=\"id\"\:)\d+' | head -n 1
as -P doesn't work in macOS I replaced it with the utility I use to pretty print JSON, jq:
-P
jq
> curl https://dev.to/api/articles | jq '.[0].id' 266498
or even better, as we don't need the entire page:
> total=$(curl "https://dev.to/api/articles?per_page=1" | jq '.[0].id') > echo $total 266498
this doesn't work in macOS either:
curl https://dev.to/api/articles/246755 | sed -r 's/.*created_at\"\:\".{11}(..).*/\1/'
I replaced it with:
> curl https://dev.to/api/articles/246755 | jq '.created_at' | sed 's/^.*T\(.*\)\:.*\:.*/\1/' 20
or even better:
> curl https://dev.to/api/articles/246755 | jq '.created_at[11:13]' | sed 's/"//g' 20
jq is truly awesome :D stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/
