jq, a command line JSON processor, can be downloaded from https://github.com/stedolan/jq.

If there is no new modifiction but you want to wait for new one, then use longpoll=true.

curl -s 'http://ighlyesesedisentstoldneg:cOlugjOsPXtkHyR1SPvNDYME@jerryj3.cloudant.com/a_user1/_changes?include_docs=true&descending=true&since=&feed=longpoll'

or use continuous for processing the feed forever.

curl -s 'http://ighlyesesedisentstoldneg:cOlugjOsPXtkHyR1SPvNDYME@jerryj3.cloudant.com/a_user1/_changes?include_docs=true&descending=true&since=&feed=continuous'
