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.

Version 2.1 also included get_base_url a small yet neat function to get a the main url back from a string

Installation

pip install hi-urlparser

Usage

from hiurlparser import parse_url, get_base_url


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

When using the parse_url function, you get a dict back with different parts of the URL.

The different parts can be accessed by keywords:

For parse_url use: result['top_domain]
