URL Parser
Parse any URL into its components: protocol, hostname, path, query parameters, and fragment.
What is URL Parsing?
URL parsing breaks a URL into its components: protocol (https), hostname (example.com), port, pathname (/path), query parameters (?key=value), and fragment (#section). Understanding URL structure is essential for routing, API development, and debugging network requests. This tool parses any URL and displays each component separately.
Common Use Cases
- •Inspecting and debugging complex API endpoint URLs
- •Extracting query parameters from analytics or tracking URLs
- •Understanding URL structure for web scraping
- •Validating URLs before making HTTP requests

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the parts of a URL?
A URL has up to 8 parts: scheme (https), username, password, hostname (example.com), port (443), path (/page), query (?key=val), and fragment (#section). Most URLs only use scheme, hostname, path, and query.
What is the fragment/hash in a URL?
The fragment (after #) identifies a section within a page. It is NOT sent to the server — it's handled entirely by the browser. Single-page apps often use fragments for client-side routing.
