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

  • Thanks, this looks good but what if the item is inside a bucket? Apr 22, 2020 at 20:30
  • For that, you can check how Sitecore resolves URLs for bucket items, and then you can tweak the method accordingly. Apr 23, 2020 at 8:36
