There is a way, I do this usually by reading from a pipe and modify the data
along the way as necessary.
Basically you can read this as
(in '("curl" "-s" "https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/aapl/chart/3m";)
(readJson) )
Now you can do modifications here, either by calling a script with 'curl' and
some filtering with 'sed' or 'awk, or do it directly:
(in '("sh" "-c" "curl -s https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/aapl/chart/3m
| sed 's/xxx/yyy/g")
(readJson) )

Yes, can be done with the above 'sed'.
But only if you are sure that none of the numbers is meant to be a plain
integer.

Not in the general case. Imagine there is a number "7" in the data meaning a day
of the week or whatever. It would end up as 700 :)
