Get current URL from browser using python

I just solved a class problem similar to this. We've been using Splinter to walk through pages (you will need to download splinter and Selenium). As I walk through pages, I periodically need to pull the url of the page I'm currently on. I do that using the command new_url = browser.url Below is an example of my code.

I do this using the following code.

##import dependencies
from splinter import browser
import requests


## go to original page 
browser.visit(url)

## Loop through the page associated with each headline
for headline in titles:
    print(headline.text)
    browser.click_link_by_partial_text(headline.text)
## Now that I'm on the new page, I need to grab the url
    new_url = browser.url
    print(new_url)
## Go back to original page
    browser.visit(url)

You can get the current url by doing path_info = request.META.get('PATH_INFO') http_host = request.META.get('HTTP_HOST'). You can add these two to get complete url. Basically request.META returns you a dictionary which contain a lot of information. You can try it.

If to use Selenium for web navigation:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
print (driver.current_url)
