URL parser API: host, path, query parameters and origin

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or subscription: pay per call with a card key or USDC

Split a URL into protocol, host, port, path, query parameters (as an object), hash and origin, and report whether the host is an IP address. Use to read query parameters or check a link's host.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://tools.funwords.eu/url/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%3A8080%2Fa%2Fb%3Fx%3D1%26y%3D2%23top"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://tools.funwords.eu/url/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%3A8080%2Fa%2Fb%3Fx%3D1%26y%3D2%23top&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.

Example result

{
  "protocol": "https:",
  "host": "example.com",
  "port": "8080",
  "path": "/a/b",
  "query": {
    "x": "1",
    "y": "2"
  },
  "hash": "#top",
  "origin": "https://example.com:8080",
  "isIp": false
}

Questions

Does it fetch the URL?

No, it only splits the URL you send.

How do I pay?

Each successful call costs $0.01; failed calls are not charged. The first 25 calls are free. Then pay with card credits (from $1; the key goes in an Authorization header or, for clients that can only fetch a URL, as api_key= in the URL) or per call in USDC over x402 or MPP. No account is needed.
