param_remove: Remove key-value pairs from query strings

In Ironholds/urltools: Vectorised Tools for URL Handling and Parsing

Remove key-value pairs from query strings

Description

URLs often have queries associated with them, particularly URLs for APIs, that look like ?key=value&key=value&key=value. param_remove allows you to remove key/value pairs while leaving the rest of the URL intact.

Usage

param_remove(urls, keys)

Arguments

urls	a vector of URLs. These should be decoded with url_decode but don't have to have been otherwise processed.
keys	a vector of parameter keys to remove.

Value

the original URLs but with the key/value pairs specified by keys removed. If the original URL is NA, NA will be returned; if a specified key is NA, nothing will be done with it.

See Also

param_set to modify values associated with keys, or param_get to retrieve those values.

Examples

# Remove multiple parameters from a URL
param_remove(urls = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/api.php?action=list&type=query&format=json",
            keys = c("action","format"))
