Examples & Use Cases

Complex URL Input

https://admin:password@api.company.com:8080/users/search?role=admin&active=true#results

Parsed JSON Output

{ "protocol": "https", "hostname": "api.company.com", "port": "8080", "pathname": "/users/search", "queryParameters": { "role": "admin", "active": "true" }, "hash": "#results" }

Advanced URL Parser

Modern web addresses can be incredibly complex, packed with authentication details, nested query strings, and custom ports. Our URL Parser takes any web link and instantly deconstructs it into a clean, readable JSON object, separating out the protocol, host, pathname, hash fragments, and a mapped list of search parameters.

Why Developers Need a URL Parser

  • API Debugging: Quickly inspect the exact query variables being sent to a REST endpoint.
  • Routing Rules: Break down incoming webhooks to ensure your routing logic correctly handles the hostname and pathname.
  • Security Audits: Reveal hidden basic-auth credentials or suspicious query parameters attached to long, confusing URLs.

100% Client-Side Parsing

Pasting private API endpoints or URLs containing secure authorization tokens into random web tools is a major security risk. Our URL Parser uses your browser's native URL API to evaluate the string locally. Zero data is sent to external servers, guaranteeing enterprise-grade privacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it support URLs without HTTP/HTTPS?

Yes. If you omit the protocol (e.g., `api.example.com/path`), the parser will intelligently infer an HTTP protocol to allow standard domain parsing.

How are duplicate query parameters handled?

By standard URL specifications, if an array of parameters is provided (e.g., `?id=1&id=2`), the final mapped object will typically reflect the last provided value or an array, depending on standard parsing behavior.

About URL Parser

Deconstruct any URL into its individual components: protocol, host, path, query parameters, and more. It's built for debugging web requests, headers and page behaviour, runs instantly, and works on any device — no install, no sign-up.

How to use URL Parser

  1. Paste or type your input into the editor on the left.
  2. Leave the defaults, or tweak them if the tool exposes options.
  3. The result appears instantly on the right — everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
  4. Copy the output, or download it, and you're done.

Why use URL Parser?

  • Fast and local — the transform happens in your browser, so there's no round-trip and no waiting.
  • Private by default — your input never leaves your device.
  • Accurate — the same, well-tested logic powers both this page and the public API.
  • Free — unlimited use in the browser, with an optional API for automation.

Use it from the API

Everything this page does is also available as a REST endpoint, so you can call URL Parser from your own code, a script or a CI pipeline.

Bash
curl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/url-parser" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer txp_live_YOUR_KEY"

The endpoint returns a JSON envelope ({ ok, data, meta }) and costs 1 credit per successful call. Try it in the playground or browse the full API reference.

Frequently asked questions

Is URL Parser free to use? Yes — use it in the browser as much as you like. The optional API has a free tier and pay-as-you-go pricing for heavy or automated use.

Is my data private? Yes. URL Parser runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device and nothing is logged or stored.

Can I automate URL Parser? Yes — call the url-parser API endpoint from any language and script it into your workflow.
