weaviate.util.is_object_url(url: str) bool

Validates an url like ‘http://localhost:8080/v1/objects/1c9cd584-88fe-5010-83d0-017cb3fcb446’ or ‘/v1/objects/1c9cd584-88fe-5010-83d0-017cb3fcb446’ references a object. It only validates the path format and UUID, not the host or the protocol.

Parameters

url (str) – The URL to be validated.
