JSON Output

Every command supports --json for machine-readable output:

loopsh --json carriers get 2247505
loopsh --json carriers search "Swift" | jq '.results[].legal_name'
loopsh --json fleet trucks 2247505 | jq '.results | length'

This makes the CLI agent-friendly — pipe to jq, feed into scripts, or use from AI agents.

Examples

# Find a carrier and get their fleet size
loopsh carriers search "Werner Enterprises" --limit 1
loopsh carriers get 2247505 --fields legal_name,total_trucks,total_drivers

# Get all fatal crashes for a carrier
loopsh --json crashes list 2247505 --severity FATAL | jq '.results[]'

# Find C-suite contacts and enrich them
loopsh --json contacts search --dot 2247505 --levels c_suite | jq '.results[].name'
loopsh contacts enrich abc123

# Pipeline: search → get details → get fleet
DOT=$(loopsh --json carriers search "Swift" | jq -r '.results[0].dot_number')
loopsh carriers get "$DOT"
loopsh fleet trucks "$DOT"
