URLSearchParams: get() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The get() method of the URLSearchParams interface returns the first value associated to the given search parameter.

Syntax

js
get(name)

Parameters

name

The name of the parameter to return.

Return value

A string if the given search parameter is found; otherwise, null.

Examples

If the URL of your page is https://example.com/?name=Jonathan&age=18 you could parse out the 'name' and 'age' parameters using:

js
let params = new URLSearchParams(document.location.search);
let name = params.get("name"); // is the string "Jonathan"
let age = parseInt(params.get("age"), 10); // is the number 18

Requesting a parameter that isn't present in the query string will return null:

js
let address = params.get("address"); // null
