Getting an item using Powershell having only the URL

Question

Is it possible to get a Sitecore item via Powershell script having only the public URL?

Something like an overload of the Get-Item function that receives the URL would be ideal

Thanks in advance

You can get item by URL using below function. You may have to tweak it for resolving wildcard items.

function GetItemByUrl($url){
    $url = [System.Uri]::new($url);

    $siteContext = [Sitecore.Sites.SiteContextFactory]::GetSiteContext($url.Host, $url.PathAndQuery);

    $homePath = $siteContext.StartPath;
    if (!$homePath.EndsWith("/")){            
        $homePath += "/";
    }

    $itemPath = [Sitecore.MainUtil]::DecodeName($url.AbsolutePath);

    if ($itemPath.StartsWith($siteContext.VirtualFolder)){
        $itemPath = $itemPath.Remove(0, $siteContext.VirtualFolder.Length);
    }

    $fullPath = $homePath + $itemPath;
    return $siteContext.Database.GetItem($fullPath);
}

$item = GetItemByUrl("http://localhost.sc/my-page")

Write-Host $item.ID
