I've found I've sped up my trouble shooting by enhancing my command line knowledge.
Piping API calls via `jq` to format the requests before redirecting output into a file formats the request to be more readable.
Once this is done we can use `grep` to search through those results to find the required data.
This can sometimes leads to a mixed result that will need sanitising which can be achieved with a recursive search flag `-r` followed by the term you wish to omit.
