# Get data using current URL with JavaScript

You can get the URL object using `window.location.href` like this: 

```
let url = new URL(window.location.href)
```

Then, parse that URL with `split` to get the data you need:

```
let id = url.pathname.split('/')[2]
```

In this case, the URL I got was `http://127.0.0.1:8000/request/1/update/`. The `pathname` is equal to `/request/1/update/`. The `1` is the ID of the data object I need. 

Once you've got the ID, you can use it in an axios call to get the data you need.
