Similar to the jq, the htmlq facilitates the filtering of html data. It can be utilized along with the curl command.
To filter with id: article-body
$ curl -s https://dev.to/anks/using-jq-to-filter-json-data-36c5 | htmlq '#article-body' This will filter all codeblocks on a specified dev.to page:
$ curl -s https://dev.to/anks/using-jq-to-filter-json-data-36c5 | htmlq '[class="highlight js-code-highlight"]' To filter out non-code text from the page:
$ curl -s https://dev.to/anks/using-jq-to-filter-json-data-36c5 | htmlq '#article-body>p' <p>Basic Elements</p> <p>n ∉ [0, ∞), int</p> <p>Ex.</p> <p>file.json<br> </p> <p>To filter ids:<br> </p> <p>To return value of <code>name</code> key when id is 1<br> </p> <p>To filter ids as json<br> </p> <p>Ref. :<br> <a href="https://stedolan.github.io/jq/">https://stedolan.github.io/jq/</a><br> <a href="https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/json-and-jq">https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/json-and-jq</a></p> To filter out non-code text from the page and to return the output in text format:
