This is probably something you should use a postmeta value for instead of a
shortcode, considering how you want to fetch it.

If you need to use a shortcode then the easiest way is probably using a
search query with new WP_Query(), and searching for the most common part of
your shortcode. That will return all posts with the shortcode and not just
one, but unless you are somehow enforcing that only one post can have the
shortcode you should assume more than one does.
