What is a URL Parser?

A URL parser separates a web address into components such as the protocol, hostname, port, path, query string, and fragment. That makes it easier to inspect redirects, debug API requests, and understand routing behavior.

Click Parse URL or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
Review the extracted URL components and query parameters.
Inspect the breakdown, analysis, and normalized URL output.

URL components explained

Protocol

The protocol declares how the resource should be accessed. Common values include http:// and https://.

Hostname

The hostname is the domain name or IP address of the server. It is usually the part that appears before the port.

Port

The port identifies the network endpoint the server uses. Common examples include 80, 443, and 8080.

Pathname

The pathname identifies the resource or route on the server, such as /products/item.

Query parameters

Query parameters are the key/value pairs after the ? in a URL. They are commonly used for filters, pagination, and tracking.

Fragment

The fragment is the part after the #. It often points to a specific section of a page or a client-side route.

Why use an online URL parser?

Developers use a URL parser to debug API requests, inspect redirect URLs, read tracking parameters, analyze callback URLs, troubleshoot malformed URLs, review values from logs, and understand web application routing.

URL parsing example

For https://example.com:8080/products/item?category=books&page=2#reviews, the protocol is https:, the hostname is example.com, the port is 8080, the pathname is /products/item, the query parameters are category=books and page=2, and the fragment is #reviews.

FAQ

What is a URL parser?

A URL parser breaks a web address into meaningful parts such as the protocol, hostname, port, path, query string, and fragment.

What parts of a URL can this tool extract?

It extracts the protocol, username, password, host, hostname, port, pathname, search string, hash, origin, and query parameters.

Does this URL parser work with query parameters?

Yes. It displays every query parameter separately, preserves duplicates, and lets you copy or inspect each value.

Can a URL contain multiple parameters with the same name?

Yes. The tool preserves repeated parameter names so you can inspect each occurrence without merging them together.

What is the difference between a hostname and a host?

The hostname is the domain name or IP address, while the host includes the hostname and an optional port.

What is a URL fragment?

A fragment is the part after the # and is often used to point to a section or anchor within a page.

Does this tool send my URL to a server?

This tool processes URLs locally in your browser. The URL is not sent to a server by the tool itself.

Can I parse URLs with ports and credentials?

Yes. The tool handles ports, usernames, passwords, and other standard URL components when they are present.
