Put response of REST-API in variable Windows Batch File - rest

Question

i am new to Windows Batch File Scripting. Could anyone explain me how i can extract one value of an REST API Response into a variable?
i made this call:
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers -u sk_live_1qwnCoXXXXXXXXXXXXX: -d card[number]=494XXXXXXX9 -d card[exp_month]=10 -d card[exp_year]=2022 -d card[cvc]=081 -d email=XXXXXXXXXXXX
{
"id": "**cus_DqXXXXXXXXXXTu**",
"object": "customer",
"account_balance": 0,
"created": 1540311116,
"currency": null,
"default_source": "card_1DOXXXXXXMf",
"delinquent": false,
"description": null,
"discount": null,
"email": "XXXXXXXXXX",
"invoice_prefix": "69C53EF",
"livemode": true,
"metadata": {
},
"shipping": null,
"sources": {
"object": "list",
"data": [
{
"id": "card_1DOXXXXXXXXXXf",
"object": "card",
"address_city": null,
"address_country": null,
"address_line1": null,
"address_line1_check": null,
"address_line2": null,
"address_state": null,
"address_zip": null,
"address_zip_check": null,
"brand": "Visa",
"country": "DE",
"customer": "**cus_DXXXXXXXTu**",
"cvc_check": "pass",
"dynamic_last4": null,
"exp_month": 10,
"exp_year": 2022,
"fingerprint": "1WXXXXXXXXXX5",
"funding": "prepaid",
"last4": "XXXX",
"metadata": {
},
"name": null,
"tokenization_method": null
}
],
"has_more": false,
"total_count": 1,
"url": "/v1/customers/cus_Dq8XXXXXXXTu/sources"
},
"subscriptions": {
"object": "list",
"data": [
],
"has_more": false,
"total_count": 0,
"url": "/v1/customers/cus_Dq8XXXXXXXTu/subscriptions"
},
"tax_info": null,
"tax_info_verification": null
}
I have to extract the id starting with "cus_" in first line of response and this id in sources section starting with "card_"
I have search through google, but maybe i didn't see the right answer.
Need this script to automate the invoicing in our inventory managment system.

Answer 1

whilst not completely impossible, parsing json is far more advanced than what people should be doing with MS.bat scripting, which is a rather simple language. if you can, please switch to a better scripting language, this would be trivial in something like PHP or Python or Perl. for example with php-cli, which you can get here, it'd be:
<?php
$json=trim(shell_exec('curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers -u sk_live_1qwnCoXXXXXXXXXXXXX: -d card[number]=494XXXXXXX9 -d card[exp_month]=10 -d card[exp_year]=2022 -d card[cvc]=081 -d email=XXXXXXXXXXXX'));
$data=json_decode($json,true);
$id=$data['id'];
$id2=$data['sources']['data'][0]['id'];
echo "first id: {$id} - data id: {$id2}";
and if you set up php-cli's php.exe as the default handler for .php files, you can run your php script directly from the command line, example:
