I have a JSON body. I would like to obtain the value of "access_token". I would like to use grep in bash. The grep I used doesn't not work.

I tried the following but it provides me a blank result.

HTTP_BODY=$(echo $HTTP_RESPONSE | grep ^"access_token":" ","experies_in$ )

I want only to obtain the access_token value, i.e.:

    `grep` is not appropriate for parsing JSON. – chepner May 31 '19 at 18:40
  • BTW, `echo $anything` is buggy; it needs to be `echo "$anything"`, or even better, `printf '%s\n' "$anything"`, to prevent potentially corrupting your values. – Charles Duffy May 31 '19 at 18:41
  • Please don't use regex to parse xml ,xhtml, html, source code or json. – Cyrus May 31 '19 at 18:41

    @thatotherguy, ...I certainly would close it as a duplicate; the OP there is similarly asking for standard UNIX tools. If standard UNIX tools *aren't* fit for the job... well, that's an answer. Moreover, there are answers on that question showing how to use a Python interpreter, which the OP almost certainly has. – Charles Duffy May 31 '19 at 18:41
  • @CharlesDuffy I can only use basic UNIX commands. I cannot use a Python interpreter. I.e. sed, awk, or grep – codermonkey321 May 31 '19 at 19:04

    @codermonkey321: Unfortunately, your system is not suitable for processing JSON. – Cyrus May 31 '19 at 19:17
  • @codermonkey321, ...which specific system are you targeting, so we can look into the set of tools available there? – Charles Duffy May 31 '19 at 23:39
