What is a URL extractor?

Give it a page source, a chat export or a log, and it returns every absolute http:// and https:// link on its own line. Matching stops at whitespace and closing markup, so query strings like ?utm_source=news survive intact while trailing brackets do not. Duplicate links collapse to a single entry, keeping the order they first appeared.

How to use the URL Extractor

  1. 1 Paste the article, page source or chat export you want links from.
  2. 2 Every http and https address lands on its own line.
  3. 3 Repeated links show once, in the order they were found.
  4. 4 Copy the URLs wherever they are needed.

What you can use it for

  • Listing every link in a pasted article.
  • Auditing the outbound URLs in an HTML email.
  • Collecting links from a chat or document export.
  • Assembling a reference list from research notes.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep query strings and fragments?
Yes. Everything up to the next whitespace or closing bracket is captured, so tracking parameters and #fragment anchors come along with the URL.
Can it read links out of href and src attributes?
It can, because the input is treated as raw text. Links inside HTML attributes, Markdown or JSON are all found the same way as links written in prose.
Why are ftp and relative links missing from the output?
The matcher is limited to absolute http and https addresses on purpose. Relative paths like /about have no host, and other schemes mostly add noise.
