URL Parser

Instant Analysis with the Online URL Parser

Web addresses are more than just text; they are structured instructions that guide browsers and servers. Our URL Parser breaks down these complex strings into readable components instantly. Whether you are a developer debugging API routing, an SEO auditing site structure, or a marketer analyzing tracking codes, this tool provides the clarity you need.

Why Use This Tool?

Manually scanning a URL for specific parameters or port numbers is error-prone. This tool automates the process, separating the Protocol, Hostname, Path, Port, and Query Parameters into a clean table. It handles encoding automatically, making it easy to read obscure tracking tags (like UTMs) or complex API queries without manual decoding.

How to Parse a URL

1. Paste: Copy the full link into the input box above.
2. Parse: Click the button to split the URL into its constituent parts.
3. Inspect: View the components in the table. If query parameters are present, they will be listed individually for detailed analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL parser?

A URL parser is a utility that splits a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) into its fundamental parts—Scheme, Host, Path, Query, and Fragment—allowing for easy validation and analysis of web addresses.

What are the components of a URL?

The standard structure includes the Protocol (e.g., https://), Hostname (domain.com), Port (80 or 443), Path (/folder/file), Query String (?key=value), and Fragment (#anchor).

What is the difference between a URL and a URI?

A URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) is a generic term for any string that identifies a resource. A URL is a specific type of URI that identifies a resource by its location on a network (i.e., its web address).

How do you extract parameters from a URL?

This tool automatically isolates the query string (the text following the '?') and parses every key-value pair into a separate table, making it easy to identify specific variables like tracking IDs or session tokens.

Are URL parameters case-sensitive?

Generally, yes. While the domain name (hostname) is case-insensitive, the path and query string parameters are interpreted by the server, which usually treats 'Page' and 'page' as different resources.
