urlextract 0.2.7

Collects and extracts URLs from given text.

URLExtract is python class for collecting (extracting) URLs from given text.

How does it work

It tries to find any occurrence of TLD in given text. If TLD is found it starts from that position to expand boundaries to both sides searching for “stop character” (usually whitespace, comma, single or double quote).

Requirements

• IDNA for converting links to IDNA format

  pip install idna

Example

You can look at command line program bin/urlextract. But everything you need to know is this:

from URLExtract import URLExtract

extractor = URLExtract()
urls = extractor.find_urls("Text with URLs. Let's have URL janlipovsky.cz as an example.")
print(urls) # prints: ['janlipovsky.cz']
