I want to return the current url of a web browser in python. I have come from this link Get current URL from browser using python but has not solved my problem.

I have the following:

import asyncio
from pyppeteer import launch

async def main():
    browser = await launch()
    page = await browser.newPage()

    # Get the URL and print it
    link = await page.evaluate("() => window.location.href")
    print(link)
    # Cleanuip
    await browser.close()

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

But this gives me output as:

about:blank

Any suggestions how to get the current browsers url form where it is opened?

    Maybe the browser did currently display a blank page? Which seems reasonable given that you just opened a new page without entering any URL. Commented Jul 8, 2022 at 23:23
  • Is there any way that I can get the current browser url for example running from a Jupyter Notebook? Commented Jul 8, 2022 at 23:28
  • See Page.url but you need to visit a site first Page.goto so far you just opened an empty tab Commented Jul 21, 2022 at 21:02
