Quick, what is the order of the (as of now) 63 released Walk Disney Animation Studios films?

$ api=https://www.wikitable2json.com/api; \
  page=List_of_Walt_Disney_Animation_Studios_films; \
  curl -s "$api/$page?table=0&keyRows=1" \
  | jq '.[0][].Film' -rc \
  | egrep -v '^as' \
  | nl

     1	Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
     2	Pinocchio
     3	Fantasia
...
    61	Strange World
    62	Wish
    63	Moana 2

There is a list on Wikipedia: List of Walt Disney Animation Studios films, but the tables there are … a bit of a pain to copy paste. I could very well just manually do that, but where’s the fun in that?

Luckily, someone went through the work of providing a wrapper around Wikipedia that will extract all (or selected) tables from a Wikipedia page!

To break down the command:

• curl -s https://{...}?table=0&keyRows - Download the first (zero based indexing) table on the page; use the first row as column names (-s for ‘silent’ mode)
• jq '.[0][].Film - Extract the first table in the response (.[0]), for each row in that table [] extract the film name .Film
• egrep -v '^as - Remove rows starting with ‘as …’; these are extra rows when the studio was renamed

And that’s it!
