cd $HOME/Desktop/Me/gifs
echo $res # outputs correct URL
curl -O $res # this is giving error

problem is that I cant curl the res vaiable as its showing bad/illegal format kind of error

CodePudding user response：

Add -r to the jq command (for raw-output). Your code can only handle limit=1 The following worked for me

key=LIVDSRZULELA #key provided by tenor
url="https://g.tenor.com/v1/search?q=$1&key=$key&limit=$2" 
#search key and total results will be given by command arguments

url2=$(curl $url | jq -r '.results[].media[].gif.url') # this have whole json result from tenor
curl "$url2"
