Slashing APIs with jq at MacSysAdmin 2025
Get the demo JSON
Witness true horror at Macsysadmin in Gothenburg when Ulrik Aabye-Hansen takes you through the CLI tool jq in a presentation that also tips the hat to the great slasher movies.
In 1981, a sinister slasher story unfolds at Camp Crystal Lake, but this isn’t your typical horror. It’s the tale of JSON (Jason’s Serial Object Notation) and the masked killer that haunts system administrators.
Join Ulrik Aabye-Hansen at MacSysAdmin 2025 in Gothenburg for a presentation that combines 80s slasher film terror with jq, the command-line tool for parsing, filtering, and transforming JSON data. Learn to survive encounters with complex API responses from Apple Business Manager, Jamf Pro, and Microsoft Graph.
During the presentation you can participate and follow along and practice using jq to extract data from a json-file.
