SERP Tips

- Using JSON data*
The .7z files from SERP include .json files. You can use the jq tool to quickly navigate the .json and dig out just what you care about. For example, if you are a command-line user and wanted only URLS, with jq you can:
cat 'Sat Mar 28 2020 19-12-13 GMT-0500 (Central Daylight Time).json' | jq '.linkElements | .[] | .href'
This will: send the text of the .json file into jq, then navigate the tree to just the 'linkElements' list of links, then iterate over each item in the list, then select only the 'href' trait (i.e. the URL) from each link in the list.
