Thanks you for this explication,
You inspire me to do the same thing for PHP,fo my use 😄
function unhash_id($hashedId){
$vineKey = array_flip(str_split('BuzaW7ZmKAqbhMOei5J1nvr6gXHwdpDjITtFUPxQ20E9VY3Ll'));
$vineKeySize = count($vineKey);
$arrayHashedId = str_split(strrev($hashedId));

$unhashId = 0;
foreach($arrayHashedId as $key => $value){
$unhashId += $vineKey[$value] * pow($vineKeySize, $key);
}
return $unhashId;
}

Thanks for the explanation! here there is a console app that calculates the hash_id in C#:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string VINE_KEY = "BuzaW7ZmKAqbhMOei5J1nvr6gXHwdpDjITtFUPxQ20E9VY3Ll";
        int VINE_KEY_SIZE = VINE_KEY.Length;
        string postId = "1202036007948943360";
        string base49PostId = Encode(long.Parse(postId), VINE_KEY_SIZE, VINE_KEY);

        Console.WriteLine(base49PostId);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    public static string Encode(long value, int @base = 0, string chars = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
    {
        if (@base <= 0) @base = chars.Length;
        var sb = new StringBuilder();
        do
        {
            int m = (int)(value % @base);
            sb.Insert(0, chars[m]);
            value = (value - m) / @base;
        } while (value > 0);
        return sb.ToString();
    }
}
