Get the key values using jq from json

It's best to avoid grep in cases like this. To meet the exact requirements in the present case, one could write:

jq -c 'paths(scalars) as $p| [$p, getpath($p)]| select(.[1] == "9i6O4ERWWB")' input.json

If one really needs grep-like functionality, you can always use jq's test/1.

bash elasticsearch jq

You can 'extract' paths using the following:

jq -c 'paths(scalars) as $p | [$p, getpath($p)]' file.json | grep 432432sdxWWB

and response is:

[["_source","statistics","example.com","template2","subdomain_id"],"432432sdxWWB"]

Possibly you can improve jq query to get only single value but I hope it helps you in determining final version :)
