I have the following JSON content in a file.json.
I need only a particular key field from all this overwhelming information.
Let us assume that I need web_url,
The problem here is there are multiple key field with "web_url".
How do only get the web_url field I am after?

Unsure what's the ask here. It looks though like a banal addressing question:
# to address the first match:
bash $ <file.json jtc -w'<web_url>l' # or equally: <web_url>l0
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
bash $
# to address the second match:"
bash $ <file.json jtc -w'<web_url>l1'
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
bash $
# and so on. To address all the matches:
bash $ <file.json jtc -w'<web_url>l:'
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/demo/frog/merge_requests/1"
bash $
# to address all the matches starting from 3rd one:
bash $ <file.json jtc -w'<web_url>l2:'
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/sengk"
"https://gitlaboo.tests.com/demo/frog/merge_requests/1"
bash $
# etc
