Pydantic A URL field received a URL with an invalid or missing scheme.

The URL provided does not start with a valid scheme such as 'http' or 'https'.

Resolving Pydantic's 'value_error.url.scheme' Issue

Understanding Pydantic

Pydantic is a data validation and settings management library for Python, leveraging Python's type hints. It is widely used for ensuring data integrity by validating input data against defined models. Pydantic is particularly popular in FastAPI applications for request validation.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Pydantic models, you might encounter the error code value_error.url.scheme. This error typically manifests when a URL field is expected, but the provided URL is missing a valid scheme, such as 'http' or 'https'.

Example of the Error

{
"url": "www.example.com"
}

In this example, the URL is missing the scheme, which leads to the error.

Exploring the Issue

The value_error.url.scheme error indicates that the URL provided does not conform to the expected format. Pydantic uses the URL type to validate URLs, which requires a valid scheme to be present.

Why Schemes Matter

URL schemes are crucial as they specify the protocol to be used for accessing the resource. Common schemes include 'http', 'https', 'ftp', etc. Without a scheme, the URL is considered incomplete and invalid.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the value_error.url.scheme error, ensure that all URLs include a valid scheme. Here are the steps to fix the issue:

Step 1: Identify the URL Field

Locate the field in your Pydantic model that is expected to be a URL. For example:

from pydantic import BaseModel, HttpUrl

class MyModel(BaseModel):
url: HttpUrl

Step 2: Validate the Input Data

Ensure that the input data for the URL field includes a valid scheme. Modify the input data as follows:

{
"url": "https://www.example.com"
}

Step 3: Test the Model

Test the Pydantic model with the corrected input data to ensure the error is resolved:

data = {"url": "https://www.example.com"}
model = MyModel(**data)
print(model)
