Extract form action URLs and methods from pasted HTML forms for endpoint inventory, QA review, and migration notes.
0 / 30,000 characters. No upload, storage, or account required.
Form action extraction workflows
Use form action extraction when submit endpoints are scattered across templates, copied pages, or component output and need a quick pasted-input inventory.
Inventory forms
Pair this with Extract Form Field Names to map each form endpoint with its posted field names.
Inspect URLs
Send copied action URLs to URL Parser or Query String Parser when endpoints include query parameters.
Clean the final list
Use Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Lines, or Filter Lines for endpoint reports.
What this tool does
Extract Form Actions finds form action attributes and methods in pasted HTML, removes duplicates, shows source-line context, and runs locally in your browser without submitting forms.
Common use cases
Extract form action URLs and methods from pasted HTML forms, templates, component output, and copied source before endpoint inventory, QA review, or migration documentation.
Use Extract Form Actions when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste HTML forms, copied templates, component output, or migration snippets that contain form tags with action attributes.
- Choose whether duplicate method/action rows should be removed and whether URLs should be normalized for comparison.
- Review extracted submit destinations with source lines, then copy the endpoint list for QA, security review handoffs, or migration documentation.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
Privacy note
Form action extraction runs locally in your browser. ClearUtils does not upload, store, submit, fetch, crawl, render, execute, or log the HTML text you paste.
FAQ
Does Extract Form Actions submit forms?
No. It reads pasted HTML text only and extracts action and method attributes. It does not submit, fetch, crawl, render, upload, store, or execute forms.
What output does it produce?
It outputs method and action pairs such as POST: /checkout so endpoint lists are easy to copy into QA notes.
Can it parse query parameters in action URLs?
This tool extracts the action URL as text. Use URL Parser or Query String Parser when you need to inspect parameters after copying the URL.
