URL Parser
Parse and analyze URLs into components with copy buttons for each part—perfect for debugging APIs and tracking links.
Our URL Parser decomposes URLs into protocol, hostname, port, pathname, query parameters, and hash fragments. Features quick examples, individual copy buttons, and error validation—ideal for developers debugging APIs, analyzing tracking links, or extracting URL components.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the URL parser do?
The URL parser breaks down any URL into its components: protocol (https), hostname (example.com), port (3000), pathname (/path), query parameters (?key=value), and hash (#section). Each component can be copied individually for debugging or documentation.
Can it parse query parameters?
Yes! The parser extracts all query parameters from the URL and displays them as key-value pairs. Each parameter can be copied separately, making it easy to inspect API requests, tracking links, or form submissions.
Does it work with all URL schemes?
Yes, it supports http, https, ftp, file, and other valid URL schemes. The parser uses the browser's native URL API, ensuring accurate parsing according to web standards.
What if my URL is invalid?
Invalid URLs show a clear error message. Common issues include missing protocol (http:// or https://), malformed domains, or invalid characters. The tool requires absolute URLs with proper protocol for parsing.
Can I copy individual components?
Yes! Each URL component and query parameter has a copy button. Click to instantly copy that specific value to clipboard—perfect for extracting hostnames, paths, or parameter values for code or documentation.
Why use a URL parser?
URL parsers are essential for debugging web applications, analyzing tracking links, inspecting API endpoints, understanding redirect chains, and extracting specific URL parts for automation or testing scripts.
