I am using sed command for extracting a value which I get from the output after doing curl. Below is my shell script.

```
#!/bin/bash
release=$(curl -H "Authorization:token xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/releases/tags/v1.0.0)
id=$(echo "$release" |sed -n -e 's/"id":\\ \\([0-9]\\+\\),/\\1/p' | head -n 1 | sed 's/[[:blank:]]//g')
echo $id

```

The output I got after curl is a json file. Below is the output

```

```

The sed command I posted above must work as it was working for another curl commands. 

There are multiple occurrence of the `id` value but I want the value of the first `ID` to be stored in the `id` variable which is `"id": 1234332` 

But as output I am getting nothing. 

Need help on this.
