What Is URL Extractor?

The URL Extractor scans text and extracts all HTTP and HTTPS URLs, presenting them as a clean deduplicated list. It handles URLs with paths, query strings, fragments, and special characters. Trailing punctuation (periods, commas, parentheses) is cleaned from extracted URLs. This tool is useful for extracting links from documents, emails, social media posts, or any text containing web addresses.

Technical Guide

The extractor uses the regex /https?:\/\/[^\s<>"{}|\\^`[\]]+/gi to match URLs starting with http:// or https://. The character class excludes whitespace and characters that are invalid in URLs. After extraction, trailing punctuation (.,;:!?) and closing parentheses are stripped using a cleanup regex. JavaScript's Set is used for deduplication. The pattern is intentionally broad to catch URLs in various text contexts while excluding obviously invalid characters.
