url: Parse an ArcGIS service or content URL into its components

In arcgisutils: R-ArcGIS Bridge Utility Functions

Parse an ArcGIS service or content URL into its components

Description

arc_url_parse() uses httr2::url_parse() to parse URL components and combine the components with a service or content URL type and a layer number if applicable. A layer component is only included if the type is "MapServer" or "FeatureServer" and the URL includes a trailing digit. A full url value is also included in the returned list. The url, type, and layer components are not part of the httr2_url class object returned by httr2::url_parse().

Usage

arc_url_parse(url, base_url = NULL, error_call = rlang::caller_call())

arc_url_type(url, error_call = rlang::caller_call())

is_url(url, error_call = rlang::caller_call())

Arguments

url	A string containing the URL to parse.
base_url	Use this as a parent, if url is a relative URL.
error_call	the caller environment to be used when propagating errors.

Details

Value

A named list with the following components: scheme, hostname, username, password, port, path, query, fragment, url, type, and layer.
