How to parse filename extension from URL using Python
If you have an URL like
example.txt
https://logodix.com/logo/1667872.jpg?param=valueand you want to find just the filename extension (.jpg for this example), use the following code:
example.py
from urllib.parse import urlsplit
import os.path
url = "https://logodix.com/logo/1667872.jpg?param=value"
path = urlsplit(url).path
extension = os.path.splitext(path)[-1] # e.g. ".jpg"
