Hello,
I need to generate a JSON file, containing the metadata from a file which is uploaded in a remote server. Something like this:

exiftool http://www.edfr.com/images/wert_1.jpg -j /home/damaris/Desktop/metadata.json

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Phil Harvey

On Linux, you can do this:

wget -qO - http://www.edfr.com/images/wert_1.jpg | exiftool -j - > /home/damaris/Desktop/metadata.json

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
