... and I need to search the value D6B1-IcUpWc6rEq2v-a4AQ and, when I've found it return the value of the "key" tag related, so in this case gP_RMGgi8Vs26HEtuQBzBw
Any suggestion / example for to do it in PHP?
Thank you very much in advance!!!

Answer 1

You need to json_decode your string and then foreach decoded array.
I write function findKey. You need to pass two variables: your json string and key to search for
function findKey($geoJson, $key) {
$geoArray = json_decode($geoJson, true);
foreach ($geoArray['features'] as $geoFeature) {
if (in_array($key, $geoFeature['properties']['keys'])) {
return $geoFeature['properties']['key'];
}
}
}
This code example finds your desired key gP_RMGgi8Vs26HEtuQBzBw:
<?php
$geoJson = <<<EOF
