Pydantic A URL field received a URL with invalid authority.

The URL provided does not have a valid authority component, which is necessary for URL validation in Pydantic.

Understanding Pydantic and Its Purpose

Pydantic is a data validation and settings management library for Python, leveraging Python's type annotations. It is widely used for ensuring that the data used in applications is valid and conforms to expected types and structures. Pydantic is particularly popular in FastAPI applications for validating request and response data.

Identifying the Symptom: value_error.url.authority

When working with Pydantic, you might encounter the error code value_error.url.authority. This error occurs when a URL field in your Pydantic model receives a URL with an invalid authority component. The authority component of a URL typically includes the domain name and, optionally, a port number.

Explaining the Issue: Invalid URL Authority

The value_error.url.authority error indicates that the URL provided does not conform to the expected format. The authority component is crucial for identifying the host of the URL. Without a valid authority, the URL cannot be resolved correctly, leading to validation errors in Pydantic.

Common Causes of Invalid Authority

  • Missing domain name or IP address.
  • Incorrectly formatted domain or port.
  • Use of unsupported characters in the domain name.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the value_error.url.authority error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the URL Format

Ensure that the URL is correctly formatted. A valid URL should have the following structure:

scheme://authority/path?query#fragment

The authority should include a valid domain name or IP address.

Step 2: Check the Domain Name

Ensure that the domain name is correctly spelled and follows the standard domain name conventions. For example, example.com is a valid domain name.

Step 3: Validate the Port Number

If a port number is included, ensure it is valid and follows a colon after the domain name, such as example.com:8080.

Step 4: Use Pydantic's URL Type

When defining your Pydantic model, use the pydantic.HttpUrl or pydantic.AnyUrl type for URL fields. This ensures that the URL is validated against common URL standards.

from pydantic import BaseModel, HttpUrl

class MyModel(BaseModel):
url: HttpUrl
