Move over jq I found something easier: fx
You could try Xidel[1]. It supports JSON, XML and HTML using XPath/XQuery 3.1
It has some extensions to the standard that are pretty nice (JSONiq, CSS selectors, html “template” matching), but you can limit it to just standard XPath/XQuery if you like.
I recommend getting the nightly v .99 build if you give it a try, the stable .98 version is pretty old and I’ve had no issues with .99

I believe that you can't read from a url with batch alone. you'll need a helper app like xidel https://www.videlibri.de/xidel.html

Tutorial: Rapid Script Development with Bash, JC, and JQ (no grep/sed/awk)
I have not played with this, but it looks like xidel might allow you to do this in Bash. jc also has a URL string parser that could be used in such a script.

Data Science at the Command Line, 2nd Edition (2021)
Thanks, if anyone else is interested there is an explanation of this feature here: https://subtxt.in/library-data/2016/03/28/json_stream_jq And: https://github.com/jqlang/jq/wiki/FAQ#streaming-json-parser
The last time I tried, I think the reason I gave up on JQ for large inputs was that the throughput would max out at 7mb/s whereas the same thing with spark SQL on the same hardware (MacBook) would max out at 250mb/s. So I started looking into using other solutions for big data while I use jq in parallel for small data in multiple files.
I will test it out again cause this was 4-5 years ago when I last tested it, but I believe jaq is still preferred for large inputs. Still I prefer for big data to use Spark/Polars/clickhouse etc.

I turned my open-source project into a full-time business
I think like you. But also, one does not necessarily know beforehand that they will want to make money.
Like a project could be born out of pure generosity, but after the happy initial phase the project might get too heavy on the maintenance requirements, causing the author to approach burnout, and possibly deciding that they want to make money to continue pulling the cart forward.
However, here's something I do think: if you create something as Open Source, it should be out of a mentality of goodwill and for the greater good, regardless of how it ends up being used. OSS licenses do mean this with their terms. If you later get tired or burned out, you should just retire and allow the community to keep taking care of it. Just like it happened with the Jq tool [1].

Command line tools I always install on Ubuntu servers
To handle JSON files and JSON outputs in a script or format and highlight it, jq can be very handy. Many command line tools provide a json output, so you don't have to write a custom parser for a table a list in a terminal. Instead of that, you can use jq to get a specific value from the output or even modify the output. For more information, you can visit https://jqlang.github.io/jq/

yq - Command-line YAML, XML, TOML processor - jq wrapper for YAML/XML/TOML documents
tools - all-in collection of productivity scripts, CLI tools, utility libraries, fuse filesystems, and also some stuff
jp - Validate and transform JSON with Bash
pup - Parsing HTML at the command line
gojq - Pure Go implementation of jq
gron - Make JSON greppable!
Jolt - JSON to JSON transformation library written in Java.
dasel - Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool. Supports conversion between formats and can be used as a Go package.
xmltodict - Python module that makes working with XML feel like you are working with JSON
jmespath.py - JMESPath is a query language for JSON.
