Network Types

The networks module contains types for common network-related fields.

AnyUrl module-attribute

AnyUrl = Url

Base type for all URLs.

• Any scheme allowed
• Top-level domain (TLD) not required
• Host required

Assuming an input URL of http://samuel:[email protected]:8000/the/path/?query=here#fragment=is;this=bit, the types export the following properties:

• scheme: the URL scheme (http), always set.
• host: the URL host (example.com), always set.
• username: optional username if included (samuel).
• password: optional password if included (pass).
• port: optional port (8000).
• path: optional path (/the/path/).
• query: optional URL query (for example, GET arguments or "search string", such as query=here).
• fragment: optional fragment (fragment=is;this=bit).

AnyHttpUrl module-attribute

AnyHttpUrl = Annotated[
    Url, UrlConstraints(allowed_schemes=["http", "https"])
]

A type that will accept any http or https URL.

• TLD not required
• Host required

HttpUrl module-attribute

HttpUrl = Annotated[
    Url,
    UrlConstraints(
        max_length=2083, allowed_schemes=["http", "https"]
    ),
]

A type that will accept any http or https URL.

• TLD required
• Host required
• Max length 2083

from pydantic import BaseModel, HttpUrl, ValidationError

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    url: HttpUrl

m = MyModel(url='http://www.example.com')
print(m.url)
#> http://www.example.com/

try:
    MyModel(url='ftp://invalid.url')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for MyModel
    url
      URL scheme should be 'http' or 'https' [type=url_scheme, input_value='ftp://invalid.url', input_type=str]
    '''

try:
    MyModel(url='not a url')
except ValidationError as e:
    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for MyModel
    url
      Input should be a valid URL, relative URL without a base [type=url_parsing, input_value='not a url', input_type=str]
    '''

"International domains" (e.g. a URL where the host or TLD includes non-ascii characters) will be encoded via punycode (see this article for a good description of why this is important):

from pydantic import BaseModel, HttpUrl

class MyModel(BaseModel):
    url: HttpUrl

m1 = MyModel(url='http://puny£code.com')
print(m1.url)
#> http://xn--punycode-eja.com/
m2 = MyModel(url='https://www.аррӏе.com/')
print(m2.url)
#> https://www.xn--80ak6aa92e.com/
m3 = MyModel(url='https://www.example.珠宝/')
print(m3.url)
#> https://www.example.xn--pbt977c/

Underscores in Hostnames

In Pydantic, underscores are allowed in all parts of a domain except the TLD. Technically this might be wrong - in theory the hostname cannot have underscores, but subdomains can.

To explain this; consider the following two cases:

• exam_ple.co.uk: the hostname is exam_ple, which should not be allowed since it contains an underscore.
• foo_bar.example.com the hostname is example, which should be allowed since the underscore is in the subdomain.

Without having an exhaustive list of TLDs, it would be impossible to differentiate between these two. Therefore underscores are allowed, but you can always do further validation in a validator if desired.

Also, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all currently accept http://exam_ple.com as a URL, so we're in good (or at least big) company.

FileUrl module-attribute

FileUrl = Annotated[
    Url, UrlConstraints(allowed_schemes=["file"])
]

A type that will accept any file URL.

• Host not required

PostgresDsn module-attribute

            "postgresql+py-postgresql",
            "postgresql+pygresql",
        ],
    ),
]

A type that will accept any Postgres DSN.

• User info required
• TLD not required

If further validation is required, these properties can be used by validators to enforce specific behaviour:

    BaseModel,
    HttpUrl,
    PostgresDsn,
    ValidationError,
    field_validator,
)

class MyModel(BaseModel):

m = MyModel(url='http://www.example.com')

# the repr() method for a url will display all properties of the url
print(repr(m.url))
#> Url('http://www.example.com/')
print(m.url.scheme)
#> http
print(m.url.host)
#> www.example.com
print(m.url.port)
#> 80

class MyDatabaseModel(BaseModel):
    db: PostgresDsn

    @field_validator('db')
    def check_db_name(cls, v):
        assert v.path and len(v.path) > 1, 'database must be provided'
        return v

m = MyDatabaseModel(db='postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/foobar')
print(m.db)
#> postgres://user:pass@localhost:5432/foobar

try:

    print(e)
    '''
    1 validation error for MyDatabaseModel
    db
      Assertion failed, database must be provided
    assert (None)

UrlConstraints dataclass

Bases: _fields.PydanticMetadata

Url constraints.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
max_length	int | None	The maximum length of the url. Defaults to None.
allowed_schemes	list[str] | None	The allowed schemes. Defaults to None.
host_required	bool | None	Whether the host is required. Defaults to None.
default_host	str | None	The default host. Defaults to None.
default_port	int | None	The default port. Defaults to None.
default_path	str | None	The default path. Defaults to None.

EmailStr

Info

To use this type, you need to install the optional email-validator package:

pip install email-validator

Validate email addresses.

from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr

class Model(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr

print(Model(email='[email protected]'))
#> email='[email protected]'

NameEmail

NameEmail(name, email)

Bases: _repr.Representation

Info

To use this type, you need to install the optional email-validator package:

pip install email-validator

Validate a name and email address combination, as specified by RFC 5322.

The NameEmail has two properties: name and email. In case the name is not provided, it's inferred from the email address.

from pydantic import BaseModel, NameEmail

class User(BaseModel):
    email: NameEmail

user = User(email='Fred Bloggs <[email protected]>')
print(user.email)
#> Fred Bloggs <[email protected]>
print(user.email.name)
#> Fred Bloggs

user = User(email='[email protected]')
print(user.email)
#> fred.bloggs <[email protected]>
print(user.email.name)
#> fred.bloggs

Source code in pydantic/networks.py

def __init__(self, name: str, email: str):
    self.name = name
    self.email = email

IPvAnyAddress

Validate an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

from pydantic import BaseModel
from pydantic.networks import IPvAnyAddress

class IpModel(BaseModel):
    ip: IPvAnyAddress

print(IpModel(ip='127.0.0.1'))
#> ip=IPv4Address('127.0.0.1')

try:
    IpModel(ip='http://www.example.com')
except ValueError as e:
    print(e.errors())
    '''
    [
        {
            'type': 'ip_any_address',
            'loc': ('ip',),
            'msg': 'value is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address',
            'input': 'http://www.example.com',
        }
    ]
    '''

IPvAnyInterface

Validate an IPv4 or IPv6 interface.

IPvAnyNetwork

Validate an IPv4 or IPv6 network.

validate_email

validate_email(value)

Email address validation using email-validator.

Note

Note that:

• Raw IP address (literal) domain parts are not allowed.
• "John Doe <[email protected]>" style "pretty" email addresses are processed.
• Spaces are striped from the beginning and end of addresses, but no error is raised.
