How this service works
Machine-readable settlement service
Output
Returns a structured JSON object containing the parsed components of the input URL, including protocol/scheme, hostname, port, pathname, search/query string, individual query parameters as key-value pairs, and hash fragment. The exact fields mirror standard URL API decomposition.
Example use cases
Extract query params from redirect URL
“I have this redirect URL from our analytics system and I need to pull out all the query parameters: https://track.myapp.com/redirect?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=spring2024&user_id=8821 — can you parse it and list each parameter separately?”
Validate and decompose API callback URL
“Before I store this OAuth callback URL in our config, can you parse it and confirm what the host, path, and any query strings are? The URL is https://auth.myservice.io/callback?code=abc123&state=xyz987”
Extract hostname for domain allowlist check
“I need to check which domain this user-submitted link points to before we allow it — can you parse https://widget.partner-site.net/embed/v2?ref=portal and tell me the hostname and path?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://pennyrail.vercel.app/api/p/nano/url.parse--url-metadataWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, paid micro-service to programmatically parse and decompose a URL string into structured components without writing your own parsing logic. Particularly useful in agent workflows where URL analysis is a single step in a larger pipeline and you want a consistent, machine-readable JSON output via an x402-compatible payment rail.
Side effects
- Malformed or non-URL input string may return an error or empty/null fields
- Relative URLs without a scheme may fail to parse correctly
- Very long or encoded URLs may produce unexpected results
- Network or service downtime returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before processing
