Every api-get request involves at minimum 2 HTTP requests to the server (one for the root resource, and one for the actual resource you pass in). The server then needs to handle that request, which will involve possibly several database queries (depending on the complexity of the resource). Calling api-get on the same resource repeatedly is just going to add more load to the server, and you may even end up with the data changing on you in the process (depending on the resource). What I'd recommend is doing the api-get, and then using a command line JSON parser intended for scripting. One such tool is jq: http://stedolan.github.io/jq/.
