Django : How can I see a list of urlpatterns?

Question

If you want a list of all the urls in your project, first you need to install django-extensions, add it to your settings like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'django_extensions',
...
)

And then, run this command in your terminal

./manage.py show_urls

For more information you can check the documentation.

Try this:

from django.urls import get_resolver
get_resolver().reverse_dict.keys()

Or if you're still on Django 1.*:

from django.core.urlresolvers import get_resolver
get_resolver(None).reverse_dict.keys()

Django >= 2.0 solution

I tested the other answers in this post and they were either not working with Django 2.X, incomplete or too complex. Therefore, here is my take on this:

from django.conf import settings
from django.urls import URLPattern, URLResolver

urlconf = __import__(settings.ROOT_URLCONF, {}, {}, [''])

def list_urls(lis, acc=None):
    if acc is None:
        acc = []
    if not lis:
        return
    l = lis[0]
    if isinstance(l, URLPattern):
        yield acc + [str(l.pattern)]
    elif isinstance(l, URLResolver):
        yield from list_urls(l.url_patterns, acc + [str(l.pattern)])
    yield from list_urls(lis[1:], acc)

for p in list_urls(urlconf.urlpatterns):
    print(''.join(p))

This code prints all URLs, unlike some other solutions it will print the full path and not only the last node. e.g.:

admin/
admin/login/
admin/logout/
admin/password_change/
admin/password_change/done/
admin/jsi18n/
admin/r/<int:content_type_id>/<path:object_id>/
admin/auth/group/
admin/auth/group/add/
admin/auth/group/autocomplete/
admin/auth/group/<path:object_id>/history/
admin/auth/group/<path:object_id>/delete/
admin/auth/group/<path:object_id>/change/
admin/auth/group/<path:object_id>/
admin/auth/user/<id>/password/
admin/auth/user/
... etc, etc

Django 1.11, Python 2.7.6

cd to_your_django_project

python manage.py shell

Then paste following code.

from django.conf.urls import RegexURLPattern, RegexURLResolver
from django.core import urlresolvers
urls = urlresolvers.get_resolver()

def if_none(value):
    if value:
        return value
    return ''

def print_urls(urls, parent_pattern=None):
    for url in urls.url_patterns:
        if isinstance(url, RegexURLResolver):
            print_urls(url, if_none(parent_pattern) + url.regex.pattern)
        elif isinstance(url, RegexURLPattern):
            print(if_none(parent_pattern) + url.regex.pattern)

print_urls(urls)

Sample output:

^django-admin/^$
^django-admin/^login/$
^django-admin/^logout/$
^django-admin/^password_change/$
^django-admin/^password_change/done/$
^django-admin/^jsi18n/$
^django-admin/^r/(?P<content_type_id>\d+)/(?P<object_id>.+)/$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^add/$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^(.+)/history/$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^(.+)/delete/$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^(.+)/change/$
^django-admin/^wagtailimages/image/^(.+)/$
...

In Django 3.0, it's as easy as:

from django.urls import get_resolver
print(get_resolver().url_patterns)

Prints: [<URLPattern '' [name='home']>, <URLPattern '/testing' [name='another_url']>]

I am using the next command:

(Python3 + Django 1.10)

from django.core.management import BaseCommand
from django.conf.urls import RegexURLPattern, RegexURLResolver
from django.core import urlresolvers


class Command(BaseCommand):

    def add_arguments(self, parser):

        pass

    def handle(self, *args, **kwargs):

        urls = urlresolvers.get_resolver()
        all_urls = list()

        def func_for_sorting(i):
            if i.name is None:
                i.name = ''
            return i.name

        def show_urls(urls):
            for url in urls.url_patterns:
                if isinstance(url, RegexURLResolver):
                    show_urls(url)
                elif isinstance(url, RegexURLPattern):
                    all_urls.append(url)
        show_urls(urls)

        all_urls.sort(key=func_for_sorting, reverse=False)

        print('-' * 100)
        for url in all_urls:
            print('| {0.regex.pattern:20} | {0.name:20} | {0.lookup_str:20} | {0.default_args} |'.format(url))
        print('-' * 100)

Usage:

./manage.py showurls

There is a recipe on activestate

import urls

def show_urls(urllist, depth=0):
    for entry in urllist:
        print("  " * depth, entry.regex.pattern)
        if hasattr(entry, 'url_patterns'):
            show_urls(entry.url_patterns, depth + 1)

show_urls(urls.url_patterns)
