param_remove function

Remove key-value pairs from query strings

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.

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.

Returns

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.

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"))
