Detect the final page of a paginated cURL response in a Bash loop
Assuming my theory about startIndex holds water and implementing @CharlesDuffy's suggestion about jq, this becomes
for ((i=0; ; i+=100)); do contents=$(curl -u "username:password" -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://<url>/api/core/v3/places?count=100&startIndex=$i") echo "$contents" > $i.json if jq -e '.list | length == 0' >/dev/null; then break fi <<< "$contents"done
