# Get URL

Get URL is an action used to extract the entire address (URL) of the currently opened webpage in the browser and save it to a variable.

🎥 Watch the tutorial video: [Here](https://youtu.be/a9qNt96X1SM).

#### Configuration parameters:

* Output variable: The name of the variable you choose to store the webpage address string after successful extraction.

#### Real-world example: Check the redirect status after successful login

When you create an automated login script to a platform (for example, Pinterest or Facebook). After filling in the information and clicking the login button, you want to check whether the account has successfully reached the homepage or has been redirected to an error page/identity verification page (Checkpoint):

* Configuration method:
  * Wait a few seconds after clicking the login button, then call the Get URL action.
  * Output variable: Name the variable `currentLink`.
  * Combine with an If condition block afterwards to check the data of the variable `$currentLink`:
    * *Case 1*: If the variable `$currentLink` contains the phrase `checkpoint` or `login_error` ➔ The script identifies an account error and processes to stop the flow.
    * *Case 2*: If the variable `$currentLink` contains the phrase `home` or the data switches to the personal page ➔ The script identifies a successful login and continues with the account nurturing tasks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gpmautomate.com/automate-en/action-guide/navigation/get-url.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
