How would i get the current URL with Python,
I need to grab the current URL so i can check it for query strings e.g
requested_url = "URL_HERE"
url = urlparse(requested_url)
if url[4]:
params = dict([part.split('=') for part in url[4].split('&')])
also this is running in Google App Engine
Try this:
self.request.url
Also, if you just need the querystring, this will work:
self.request.query_string
And, lastly, if you know the querystring variable that you're looking for, you can do this:
self.request.get("name-of-querystring-variable")
For anybody finding this via google,
i figured it out,
you can get the query strings on your current request using:
url_get = self.request.GET
which is a UnicodeMultiDict of your query strings!
I couldn't get the other answers to work, but here is what worked for me:
url = os.environ['HTTP_HOST']
uri = os.environ['REQUEST_URI']
return url + uri
Try this
import os
url = os.environ['HTTP_HOST']
This is how I capture in Python 3 from CGI (A) URL, (B) GET parameters and (C) POST data:
=======================================================
import sys, os, io
myDomainSelf = os.environ.get('SERVER_NAME')
myPathSelf = os.environ.get('PATH_INFO')
myURLSelf = myDomainSelf + myPathSelf
myQuerySelf = os.environ.get('QUERY_STRING')
myTotalBytesStr=(os.environ.get('HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH'))
if (myTotalBytesStr == None):
myJSONStr = '{"error": {"value": true, "message": "No (post) data received"}}'
else:
myTotalBytes=int(os.environ.get('HTTP_CONTENT_LENGTH'))
myPostDataRaw = io.open(sys.stdin.fileno(),"rb").read(myTotalBytes)
myPostData = myPostDataRaw.decode("utf-8")
mySpy = "myURLSelf: [" + str(myURLSelf) + "]\n"
mySpy = mySpy + "myQuerySelf: [" + str(myQuerySelf) + "]\n"
mySpy = mySpy + "myPostData: [" + str(myPostData) + "]\n"
myFilename = "spy.txt"
myFilePath = myPath + "\" + myFilename
myFile = open(myFilePath, "w")
myFile.write(mySpy)
myFile.close()
=======================================================
Here are some other useful CGI environment vars:
AUTH_TYPE
CONTENT_LENGTH
CONTENT_TYPE
GATEWAY_INTERFACE
PATH_INFO
PATH_TRANSLATED
QUERY_STRING
REMOTE_ADDR
REMOTE_HOST
REMOTE_IDENT
REMOTE_USER
REQUEST_METHOD
SCRIPT_NAME
SERVER_NAME
SERVER_PORT
SERVER_PROTOCOL
SERVER_SOFTWARE
============================================
I am using these methods running Python 3 on Windows Server with CGI via MIIS.
Hope this can help you.
requests module has 'url' attribute, that is changed url.
just try this:
import requests
current_url=requests.get("some url").url
print(current_url)
If your python script is server side:
You can use os
import os
url = os.environ
print(url)
with that, you will see all the data os.environ gives you. It looks like your need the 'QUERY_STRING'. Like any JSON object, you can obtain the data like this.
import os
url = os.environ['QUERY_STRING']
print(url)
And if you want a really elegant scalable solution you can use anywhere and always, you can save the variables into a dictionary (named vars here) like so:
vars={}
splits=os.environ['QUERY_STRING'].split('&')
for x in splits:
name,value=x.split('=')
vars[name]=value
print(vars)
If you are client side, then any of the other responses involving the get request will work
