How this service works
Parse an absolute URL into its WHATWG components: protocol/scheme, credentials, host/hostname/port, origin, pathname (plus path segments), search (plus a decoded query object) and hash. A string that is not a valid absolute URL is rejected as a clean 400.
Output
A structured object containing all WHATWG URL components: protocol/scheme, username, password, host, hostname, port, origin, pathname, an array of path segments, the raw search/query string, a decoded query key-value object, and the hash/fragment. If the input is not a valid absolute URL, the endpoint returns a 400 error.
Example use cases
Extract query parameters from redirect URL
“I have this redirect URL from an OAuth callback: 'https://myapp.com/auth/callback?code=abc123&state=xyz789&session_state=qrs456' — can you parse it and pull out all the query parameters as a decoded object?”
Validate and decompose API endpoint URL
“Before I call this endpoint, can you parse 'https://api.partner.com:443/data/v3/reports/monthly' and confirm the hostname, port, and full path breakdown?”
Debug a malformed URL string
“I'm not sure if this URL is valid — can you try parsing 'htps://missing-letter.com/path?q=test' and tell me whether it's a valid absolute URL or if it gets rejected?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://url.openverbs.com/v1/parseWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a reliable, standards-compliant (WHATWG) decomposition of a URL into all its named components in a single call — especially when you need the query string decoded into a structured key-value object and path segments as an array. Prefer it over regex-based parsing or manual string splitting when correctness and spec compliance matter.
Side effects
- Non-absolute URLs (relative paths, protocol-relative) rejected with 400
- Malformed URLs with invalid characters return 400
- Empty or missing 'url' field returns 400 validation error
- URLs exceeding 8192 characters rejected
- Non-string input types rejected by schema validation
