google.script.url is an asynchronous client-side JavaScript API that can query URLs to obtain the current URL parameters and fragment. This API supports the google.script.history API. It can only be used in the context of a web app that uses IFRAME. It is not intended for use with sidebars and dialogs in an add-on or container-script context. For more information, see the guide to using browser history in web apps.
a client-side callback function to run, using the location object as the only argument.
Location object
The following table shows examples of the location elements that would be specified if the following URL was queried: http://www.example.com?n=1&name=alice&n=2#headingAnchor
Fields
location.hash
The string value of URL fragment after the # character, or an empty string if no URL fragment is present
headingAnchor
location.parameter
An object of key/value pairs that correspond to the URL request parameters. Only the first value will be returned for parameters that have multiple values. If no parameters are present, this will be an empty object.
{"name": "alice", "n": "1"}
location.parameters
An object similar to location.parameter, but with an array of values for each key. If no parameters are present, this will be an empty object.
