Well, As you can tell I like the quick and dirty solutions.

The “proper way” to do this would be to use a real json parsing tool.

Even easer “proper solution” would be to use the XML form of the URL vs the JSON one and
write some simple stylesheet.xsl and use a command-line XSLT processor such as xsltproc <http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/xsltproc2.html>, saxon <http://saxon.sourceforge.net/> or xalan <http://xalan.apache.org/> to parse the XML.

P.S.: that is a bogus key.
