# unfurl

Pull out bits of URLs provided on `stdin`

## Install

If you have Go installed and configured:

```
▶ go install github.com/tomnomnom/unfurl@latest
```

Otherwise [download the latest binary for your platform](https://github.com/tomnomnom/unfurl/releases),
extract it and move it to somewhere in your `$PATH` (e.g. `/usr/bin/`):

```
▶ wget https://github.com/tomnomnom/unfurl/releases/download/v0.0.1/unfurl-linux-amd64-0.0.1.tgz
▶ tar xzf unfurl-linux-amd64-0.0.1.tgz
▶ sudo mv unfurl /usr/bin/
```

## Usage

unfurl works with URLs provided on stdin; they might come from a file like this one:

```
▶ cat urls.txt
https://sub.example.com/users?id=123&name=Sam
https://sub.example.com/orgs?org=ExCo#about
http://example.net/about#contact
```

### Domains

You can extract the domains from the URLs with the `domains` mode:

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl domains
sub.example.com
sub.example.com
example.net
```

If you don't want to output duplicate values you can use the `-u` or `--unique` flag:

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl --unique domains
sub.example.com
example.net
```

The `-u`/`--unique` flag works for all modes.

### Apex Domains

You can extract the apex part of the domain (e.g. the `example.com` in `http://sub.example.com`) using the `apexes` mode:

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl -u apexes
example.com
example.net
```

### Paths

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl paths
/users
/orgs
/about
```

### Query String Keys

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl keys
id
name
org
```

### Query String Values

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl values
123
Sam
ExCo
```

### Query String Key/Value Pairs

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl keypairs
id=123
name=Sam
org=ExCo
```

### JSON
```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl json
{"scheme":"https","opaque":"","user":"","host":"sub.example.com","path":"/users","raw_path":"","raw_query":"id=123\u0026name=Sam","fragment":"","parameters":[{"key":"id","value":"123"},{"key":"name","value":"Sam"}],"url":"https://sub.example.com/users?id=123\u0026name=Sam","domain":"sub.example.com","subdomain":"sub","root":"example","tld":"com","apex":"example.com","port":"","extension":""}
{"scheme":"https","opaque":"","user":"","host":"sub.example.com","path":"/orgs","raw_path":"","raw_query":"org=ExCo","fragment":"about","parameters":[{"key":"org","value":"ExCo"}],"url":"https://sub.example.com/orgs?org=ExCo#about","domain":"sub.example.com","subdomain":"sub","root":"example","tld":"com","apex":"example.com","port":"","extension":""}
{"scheme":"http","opaque":"","user":"","host":"example.net","path":"/about","raw_path":"","raw_query":"","fragment":"contact","parameters":null,"url":"http://example.net/about#contact","domain":"example.net","subdomain":"","root":"example","tld":"net","apex":"example.net","port":"","extension":""}
```

### Custom Formats

You can use the `format` mode to specify a custom output format:

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl format %d%p
sub.example.com/users
sub.example.com/orgs
example.net/about
```

The available format directives are:

```
%% A literal percent character
%s The request scheme (e.g. https)
%u The user info (e.g. user:pass)
%d The domain (e.g. sub.example.com)
%S The subdomain (e.g. sub)
%r The root of domain (e.g. example)
%t The TLD (e.g. com)
%P The port (e.g. 8080)
%p The path (e.g. /users)
%e The path's file extension (e.g. jpg, html)
%q The raw query string (e.g. a=1&b=2)
%f The page fragment (e.g. page-section)
%@ Inserts an @ if user info is specified
%: Inserts a colon if a port is specified
%? Inserts a question mark if a query string exists
%# Inserts a hash if a fragment exists
%a Authority (alias for %u%@%d%:%P)
```

Any characters that don't match a format directive remain untouched:

```
▶ cat urls.txt | unfurl -u format "%d (%s)"
sub.example.com (https)
example.net (http)
```

Note that if a URL does not include the data requested, there will be no output for that URL:

```
▶ echo http://example.com | unfurl format "%P"
▶ echo http://example.com:8080 | unfurl format "%P"
8080
```

## Help

```
▶ unfurl -h

keypairs Key=value pairs from the query string (one per line)
domains The hostname (e.g. sub.example.com)
paths The request path (e.g. /users)
apexes The apex domain (e.g. example.com from sub.example.com)
json JSON encoded url/format objects
format Specify a custom format (see below)

Format Directives:
