I have a prepared URL https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token= that I want to append the parameter value 123 to.
What I have tried so far:
from urllib.parse import urljoin
urljoin('https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=','123')
# prints 'https://my.comp.com/Online/123'
What I want to get is:
'https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=123'
I know I can use + to concatenate two strings, but I want to use the urljoin for it.
If you only pass a query-parameter value, it will not join them as expected.
The second argument is interpreted as path, so it needs to be a valid
?#)See the docs for urljoin, use the first 2 examples:
from urllib.parse import urljoin
# the complete query-parameter (question-mark, key, value)
urljoin('https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=','?token=123')
# 'https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=123'
# the complete path-segment including query
urljoin('https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=','SendToken?token=123')
# 'https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=123'
# a fragment (denoted by hash-symbol) will also work, but not desired
urljoin('https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=','#123')
# 'https://my.comp.com/Online/SendToken?token=#123'
