Retrieving parameters from a URL
This is not specific to Django, but for Python in general. For a Django specific answer, see this one from @jball037
Python 2:
import urlparseurl = 'https://www.example.com/some_path?some_key=some_value'parsed = urlparse.urlparse(url)captured_value = urlparse.parse_qs(parsed.query)['some_key'][0]print captured_valuePython 3:
from urllib.parse import urlparsefrom urllib.parse import parse_qsurl = 'https://www.example.com/some_path?some_key=some_value'parsed_url = urlparse(url)captured_value = parse_qs(parsed_url.query)['some_key'][0]print(captured_value)parse_qs returns a list. The [0] gets the first item of the list so the output of each script is some_value
