URL query parameters to dict python

from urllib.parse import splitquery, parse_qs, parse_qsl

url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98&item=99"

splitquery(url)
# ('http://www.example.org/default.html', 'ct=32&op=92&item=98&item=99')

parse_qs(splitquery(url)[1])
# {'ct': ['32'], 'op': ['92'], 'item': ['98', '99']}

dict(parse_qsl(splitquery(url)[1]))
# {'ct': '32', 'op': '92', 'item': '99'}

# also works with url w/o query
parse_qs(splitquery("http://example.org")[1])
# {}

dict(parse_qsl(splitquery("http://example.org")[1]))
# {}

Old question, thougt I'd chip in though after I came across this splitquery thingy. Not sure about Python 2 since I dont use Python 2. splitquery is a bit more than re.split(r"?", url, 1).

You can easily parse a URL with a speciific library.

Here is my simple code to parse it without any dedicated library.

(the input url must contain a domain name,a protocol and a path.

def parseURL(url):

seg2 = url.split('/')[2]    # Separating domain name
seg1 = url.split(seg2)[-2]  # Deriving protocol
print('Protocol:', seg1, 'n')
print('Domain name:', seg2, 'n')
seg3 = url.split(seg2)[1]   #Getting the path; if output is empty,the there is no path in URL
print('Path:', seg3, 'n')

if '#' in url:  # Extracting fragment id, else None
    seg4 = url.split('#')[1]
    print('Fragment ID:', seg4, 'n')
else:
    seg4 = 'None'
if '@' in url:              # Extracting user name, else None
    seg5 = url.split('/')[-1]
    print('Scheme with User Name:', seg5, 'n')
else:
    seg5 = 'None'
if '?' in url:              # Extracting query string, else None
    seg6 = url.split('?')[-1]
    print('Query string:', seg6, 'n')
else:
    seg6 = 'None'

print('**The dictionary is in the sequence: 0.URL 1.Protocol 2.Domain name 3.Path 4.Fragment id 5.User name 6.Query string** n')

dictionary = {'0.URL': url, '1.Protocol': seg1, '2.Domain name': seg2, '3.Path': seg3, '4.Fragment id': seg4,
              '5.User name': seg5, '6.Query string': seg6}  # Printing required dictionary
print(dictionary, 'n')

print('The TLD in the given URL is following: ')
if '.com' in url:           # Extracting most famous TLDs maintained by ICAAN
    print('.comn')
elif '.de' in url:
    print('.den')
elif '.uk' in url:
    print('.ukn')
elif 'gov' in url:
    print('govn')
elif '.org' in url:
    print('.orgn')
elif '.ru' in url:
    print('.run')
elif '.net' in url:
    print('.netn')
elif '.info' in url:
    print('.infon')
elif '.biz' in url:
    print('.bizn')
elif '.online' in url:
    print('.onlinen')
elif '.in' in url:
    print('.inn')
elif '.edu' in url:
    print('.edun')
else:
    print('Other low level domain!n')

return dictionary

if name == 'main': url = input("Enter your URL: ") parseURL(url)

#Sample URLS to copy
# url='https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2068026323275211&set=a.269104153167446&type=3&theater'   
# url='http://www.blog.google.uk:1000/path/to/myfile.html?key1=value1&key2=value2#InTheDocument'      
# url='https://www.overleaf.com/9565720ckjijuhzpbccsd#/347876331/' 

For python2.7 I am using urlparse module to parse url query to dict.

import urlparse

url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98"

print urlparse.parse_qs( urlparse.urlparse(url).query )
# result: {'item': ['98'], 'op': ['92'], 'ct': ['32']} 

I agree about not reinventing the wheel but sometimes (while you're learning) it helps to build a wheel in order to understand a wheel. :) So, from a purely academic perspective, I offer this with the caveat that using a dictionary assumes that name value pairs are unique (that the query string does not contain multiple records).

url = 'http:/mypage.html?one=1&two=2&three=3'

page, query = url.split('?')

names_values_dict = dict(pair.split('=') for pair in query.split('&'))

names_values_list = [pair.split('=') for pair in query.split('&')]

I'm using version 3.6.5 in the Idle IDE.

For python 2.7

In [14]: url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98"

In [15]: from urlparse import urlparse, parse_qsl

In [16]: parse_url = urlparse(url)

In [17]: query_dict = dict(parse_qsl(parse_url.query))

In [18]: query_dict
Out[18]: {'ct': '32', 'item': '98', 'op': '92'}

If you prefer not to use a parser:

url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98"
url = url.split("?")[1]
dict = {x[0] : x[1] for x in [x.split("=") for x in url[1:].split("&") ]}

So I won't delete what's above but it's definitely not what you should use.

I think I read a few of the answers and they looked a little complicated, incase you're like me, don't use my solution.

Use this:

from urllib import parse
params = dict(parse.parse_qsl(parse.urlsplit(url).query))

and for Python 2.X

import urlparse as parse
params = dict(parse.parse_qsl(parse.urlsplit(url).query))

I know this is the same as the accepted answer, just in a one liner that can be copied.

For Python 3, the values of the dict from parse_qs are in a list, because there might be multiple values. If you just want the first one:

>>> from urllib.parse import urlsplit, parse_qs
>>>
>>> url = "http://www.example.org/default.html?ct=32&op=92&item=98"
>>> query = urlsplit(url).query
>>> params = parse_qs(query)
>>> params
{'item': ['98'], 'op': ['92'], 'ct': ['32']}
>>> dict(params)
{'item': ['98'], 'op': ['92'], 'ct': ['32']}
>>> {k: v[0] for k, v in params.items()}
{'item': '98', 'op': '92', 'ct': '32'}
