Installation
Latest stable version on PyPI:
pip install tld
Or latest stable version from GitHub:
pip install https://github.com/barseghyanartur/tld/archive/stable.tar.gz
Or latest stable version from BitBucket:
pip install https://bitbucket.org/barseghyanartur/tld/get/stable.tar.gz
Usage examples
Get the TLD name as string from the URL given:
from tld import get_tld, get_fld
get_tld("http://www.google.co.uk")
# 'co.uk'
get_fld("http://www.google.co.uk")
# 'google.co.uk'
get_tld("http://www.google.idontexist", fail_silently=True)
# None
get_fld("http://www.google.idontexist", fail_silently=True)
# None
If you wish, you could get the TLD as an object:
from tld import get_tld
res = get_tld("http://some.subdomain.google.co.uk", as_object=True)
res
# 'co.uk'
res.subdomain
# 'some.subdomain'
res.domain
# 'google'
res.tld
# 'co.uk'
res.fld
# 'google.co.uk'
Get TLD name, ignoring the missing protocol:
from tld import get_tld, get_fld
get_tld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'co.uk'
get_fld("www.google.co.uk", fix_protocol=True)
# 'google.co.uk'
Update the list of TLD names
To update/sync the tld names with the most recent version run the following from your terminal:
update-tld-names
Or simply do:
from tld.utils import update_tld_names
update_tld_names()
