url-parser

Python URL Parser

A nice package to help you parse all types of URL's in vanilla python and return the parsed URL in groups.

To not brake the API parse_url (returns a dict) still works and we made get_url to get the url parts as as object instead.

In version 2.1 we also included get_basic_url a small yet neat function to get a the main url back from a string

Installation

pip install url-parser

Usage

from url_parser import parse_url, get_url, get_base_url


url = parse_url('https://open.prospecta.app/my_user_login?user=url-parser&password=H3ll0') # returns url sections as a dict  
url_object = get_url('https://open.prospecta.app/my_user_login?user=url-parser&password=H3ll0') # Does the same, bur returns a object  
basic_url = get_base_url('https://open.prospecta.app/my_user_login?user=url-parser&password=H3ll0') # Returns just the main url  

print(url['domain']) # Outputs -> prospecta  
print(url_object.domain) # Outputs -> prospecta  
print(basic_url) # Outputs -> https://open.prospecta.app  

Keywords get_url and parse_url

When using the parse_url and get_url function, you get a dict (parse_url) or object (get_url) back with different parts of the URL.

The different parts can be accessed by keywords:
For parse_url use: result['top_domain]
For get_url use: result.top_domain

Here is a list of all the available keywords:

Keyword	Desription	Value when not present in URL
protocol	The protocol, e.g. https or ftp	None
www	Returns www if www is used in the URL	None
sub_domain	The sub domain, e.g. my.subdomain in my.subdomain.example.com. Note that the sub domain also includes www.	None
domain	The domain, e.g. example in example.com	Is always present
top_domain	The domain, e.g. com in example.com	Is always present
dir	The directory, e.g. /my/directory/ in example.com/my/directory/	None
file	The file, e.g. my_file.js in example.com/home/my_file.js	None
path	The full path, e.g. /home/my_file.js in example.com/home/my_file.js	None
fragment	The URL fragment, e.g. my_link in example.com#my_link	None
query	The URL query, e.g. my_parameter=1&foo=bar in example.com?my_parameter=1&foo=bar	None
