How to Parse URL Query Parameters

Turn a long URL query string into decoded names and values you can inspect.

Find the query string

Everything after the first question mark is the query string. Parameters are usually separated by ampersands.

Decode before reading

A value like %20 means a space, and plus signs often represent spaces in form-style query strings. Decode values before judging whether campaign tags are correct.

Watch duplicate keys

Duplicate query keys can appear more than once. Treat each row separately when checking campaigns, redirects, or filter URLs.
