Retrieve the current FireFox URL with python

advertisements

I want to know what is the current url of active tab in running firefox instance from python module. Does FireFox have any API for this and does python know to work with it?

The most convenient way maybe insatll a firefox extension to open up a tcp service, then you can exchange info with firefox.

mozrepl can set up a telnet service, you can call js-like command to get info.

With telnetscript (http: //code.activestate.com/recipes/152043/), you can write:


import telnetscript

script = """rve
w content.location.href;
ru repl>
w repl.quit()
cl
"""

conn = telnetscript.telnetscript( '127.0.0.1', {}, 4242 )
ret = conn.RunScript( script.split( '\n' )).split( '\n' )
print ret[-2][6:]
