Filter out random username after string

I have a full list of API status with lots of information like that.
I need to grep the name of the username so I can send it to another file or variable.
For example:
[ jq -r '.["username"]'
or
jq -r '.["username"]' file
But the string you provided is not proper json. It's missing the closing brackets (]) at the end and has a . instead.
jq should be available in most package managers, e.g. install it with:
sudo apt install jq
If you somehow need to use grep and have pgrep / grep -P available:
grep -Po '"username":"K[^"]*'

Actually that works, but shows me for only the first occurrence. Can it be done for every string that contains username? * UPDATE* IT Works with grep , thanks a lot

I have used the following command and it worked fine:
echo "[{"id":"1onyc4b1otgmtrmw37h83rjs9w","create_at":1542718790947,"update_at":1542728017634,"delete_at":0,"username":"ivan.ivanov","auth_data":""." |
sed "s/,/n/g" |
awk -F ":" '/username/print $NF'
output
ivan.ivanov
