   >> FILE                  Append API response to specified file.

API PARAMS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    API parameters are defined through a terse dotted notation making nested
    objects easy to quickly define. Non-boolean values are assigned using
    the delimiter "=" (string) or ":=" (JSON encoded).

    Arrays must be created using ":=" or using "-d|--data".

    BOOLEANS:
       foo                      {"foo": true}
       foo.bar                  {"foo": {"bar": true}}
       ^foo                     {"foo": false}
       !foo                     {"foo": false}

    STRINGS:
       foo=bar                  {"foo": "bar"}
       foo.bar=3 foo.bard=abc   {"foo": {"bar": "3", "bard": "abc"}}

    OTHER (RAW JSON):
       foo:='{"bar":3}'         {"foo": {"bar": 3}}
       foo.bar:=3.14            {"foo": {"bar": 3.14}}

JSON PATHS  (-x|--extract, -X|--exclude)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The JSON data can be filtered based on index, key matches, ranges, etc.

    Arrays:
        By Index:
         - 'foo/0', 'foo/2', 'foo/-1' (last item)
        By Range:
         - 'foo/:' or 'foo/*' (all items within the array),
         - 'foo/2:', 'foo/:2', 'foo/1:5', 'foo/-2:' (last 2),
         - 'foo/:-2' (all but last two),
         - 'foo/1:-3' (between first and up until 3rd to last)
    Dictionaries:
        Regular Expressions:
         - 'foo/b..?r' = foo/bar, foo/beer
         - 'foo/bar/.*[pP]assw(or)?d' == anything within foo/bar like a password
