What is a URL Parser?

A URL parser (Uniform Resource Locator parser) is a developer tool that breaks down web addresses into their individual components. This free online URL decoder helps you understand the structure of any URL by extracting the protocol (http/https), hostname (domain name), port number, path, query string parameters, and URL fragments (hash).

Our browser-based URL parser is essential for developers debugging API endpoints, analyzing tracking URLs, inspecting OAuth redirect URLs, and testing deep links. Unlike other tools that send your data to servers, this tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript's native URL API, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Parse OAuth redirect URLs to extract authorization codes, access tokens, and state parameters.

Mobile Deep Links

Analyze custom URL schemes and deep links for mobile applications to understand routing parameters.

Understanding URL Components

https://user:pass@api.example.com:8080/v1/users?status=active&sort=name#results
Protocol:
https: — The communication protocol (http, https, ftp, etc.)
Username:
user — Optional authentication username
Password:
pass — Optional authentication password
Hostname:

Path:
/v1/users — The resource path on the server
Query String:
?status=active&sort=name — Key-value pairs for filtering/parameters
Fragment/Hash:
#results — Client-side anchor for navigation within the page

Frequently Asked Questions

How does URL encoding/decoding work?

URL encoding converts special characters into a format that can be transmitted over the internet. For example, spaces become %20, and & becomes %26. Our tool automatically decodes these characters so you can see both the human-readable (decoded) and URL-safe (encoded) versions using the toggle switch.

Can I use this for REST API testing?

Absolutely! This tool is perfect for REST API development. Parse API endpoint URLs to verify query parameters, extract authentication tokens, validate URL structure, and debug routing issues. You can export query parameters as JSON for use in your API documentation or tests.

What's the difference between a path and a query string?

The path (e.g., /api/v1/users) specifies the resource location on the server, while the query string (e.g., ?status=active&sort=name) passes parameters to filter or modify that resource. Paths are part of the URL structure, whereas query strings are optional key-value pairs that start after the ? character.
