Python | Split URL from Query Parameters
Sometimes, while web development, we can come across a task in which we may require to perform a split of query parameters from URLs which is done by ‘?’ character. This has application over web development as well as other domains which involve URLs. Lets discuss certain ways in which this task can be performed.
Method #1 : Using split()
This is one of the way in which we can solve this problem. We split by ‘?’ and return the first part of split for result.
Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of# Split URL from Query Parameters# Using split()# initializing stringtest_str = 'www.geeksforgeeks.org?is = best'# printing original stringprint("The original string is : " + str(test_str))# Split URL from Query Parameters# Using split()res = test_str.split('?')[0]# printing resultprint("The base URL is : " + res) |
Output :
The original string is : www.geeksforgeeks.org?is=best The base URL is : www.geeksforgeeks.org
Method #2 : Using rfind()
This is another way in which we need to perform this task. In this, we find the first occurrence of ‘?’ from right and slice the string.
Python3
# Python3 code to demonstrate working of# Split URL from Query Parameters# Using rfind()# initializing stringtest_str = 'www.geeksforgeeks.org?is = best'# printing original stringprint("The original string is : " + str(test_str))# Split URL from Query Parameters# Using rfind()res = test_str[:test_str.rfind('?')]# printing resultprint("The base URL is : " + res) |
Output :
The original string is : www.geeksforgeeks.org?is=best The base URL is : www.geeksforgeeks.org
