I'm trying to extract all the "transcript" data from this file which is the result of a Google Speech-to-Text request : https://pastebin.com/MFF1Dav8 (Not sensitive data, just from an interview I conducted).
To do so I found a prewritten command which I'm using :
jq <interview.json '.response.results[].alternatives[].transcript' -r > interview.txt
Except I get :
jq: error (at <stdin>:111181): Cannot iterate over null (null)
How can I work around this ? All I want is the raw transcript text. Thank you
The JSON you posted does not have a top-level "response" key.
This seems to do the trick:
.results[].alternatives[].transcript
