tld

Extract the top level domain (TLD) from the URL given. List of TLD names is taken from Mozilla.

Optionally raises exceptions on non-existing TLDs or silently fails (if fail_silently argument is set to True).

Prerequisites

• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and PyPy

Documentation

Documentation is available on Read the Docs.

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()

Troubleshooting

If somehow domain names listed here are not recognised, make sure you have the most recent version of TLD names in your virtual environment:

update-tld-names

Testing

./runtests.py

Or use tox:

tox

Or use tox to check specific env:

tox -e py36
