Get base domain

Function: Get base domain​

This function helps you extract just the main part of a web address, known as the base domain, from a full URL. For example, if you have https://www.example.com/products/item123, this function will give you example.com. It's useful when you need to identify the primary website without all the extra path or query details.

Input,

  • Url (Type: URL) The complete web address from which you want to get the base domain. This input is required.

Output,

  • Result (Type: URL) The extracted base domain name (e.g., example.com). This output will be stored in a variable named RESULT by default, but you can change this name if needed.
