referer-parser

This is the Java implementation of referer-parser, the library for extracting attribution data from referer (sic) URLs.

The implementation uses the shared 'database' of known referers found in referers.yml.

Usage:

Use referer-parser in Java like this:

import com.snowplowanalytics.refererparser.Parser;

...

String refererUrl = "http://www.google.com/search?q=gateway+oracle+cards+denise+linn&hl=en&client=safari";
String pageUrl    = "http://www.psychicbazaar.com/shop"; // Our current URL

Parser refererParser = new Parser();
Referer r = refererParser.parse(refererUrl, pageUrl);

System.out.println(r.medium);     // => "search"
System.out.println(r.source);     // => "Google"
System.out.println(r.term);       // => "gateway oracle cards denise linn"
