What is the URL Parser & Query Inspector?
Takes any URL you paste in and splits it into its protocol, host, port, path, query parameters, and fragment using the browser's own URL parser.
How it works
The string is passed straight into the browser's built-in WHATWG `URL` constructor, which does the actual parsing; the tool then reads off `protocol`, `hostname`, `port`, `pathname`, and `hash`, and iterates `searchParams` to list every query key/value pair on its own row. Everything happens in the tab — nothing is sent to a server.
SysAdmin & security use cases
- Decode a long tracking or affiliate link to see every UTM parameter it's carrying.
- Pull an access token or id_token out of the URL fragment after an OAuth redirect.
- Check that a signed URL, like an AWS request, has the query parameters you expect.
- Confirm a URL is well-formed before pasting it into a script, config file, or API call.
