Extracts the Supabase project URL from client-side application code to obtain the exact API base URL needed for further security testing.
About
supabase-extract-url scans web application client-side code to locate and extract the Supabase project URL, giving security testers the exact API base URL they need for further vulnerability assessment. It is the reconnaissance entry point of the yoanbernabeu supabase-pentest-skills suite and is typically the first skill invoked when auditing a Supabase-backed application. Results are logged progressively to a context file to preserve partial findings.
- Extracts Supabase project URL from client-side code
- Enables targeted API endpoint testing
- Part of the full supabase-pentest-skills suite
- Writes findings progressively to .sb-pentest-context.json
- Used as first step in Supabase pentest workflows

What it does
Extracts the Supabase project URL from client-side application code to obtain the exact API base URL needed for further security testing.
Who is it for?
Security engineers beginning a Supabase pentest or audit
When should I use this skill?
At the start of a Supabase security assessment to identify the target API endpoint
What you get
- supabase project URL
- pentest context file entry
Files
Supabase URL Extraction
🔴 CRITICAL: PROGRESSIVE FILE UPDATES REQUIRED
>
You MUST write to context files AS YOU GO, not just at the end.
- Write to .sb-pentest-context.json IMMEDIATELY after each discovery- Log to .sb-pentest-audit.log BEFORE and AFTER each action- DO NOT wait until the skill completes to update files
- If the skill crashes or is interrupted, all prior findings must already be saved
>
This is not optional. Failure to write progressively is a critical error.
This skill extracts the Supabase project URL from a web application's client-side code.
When to Use This Skill
- After detecting Supabase usage, to get the exact project URL
- When you need the API base URL for further testing
- To identify which Supabase project an application uses
Prerequisites
- Target URL accessible
- Supabase usage detected (or suspected)
How It Works
The skill scans for URL patterns in:
1. JavaScript Source Code
// Direct URL references
const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
createClient('https://abc123.supabase.co', key)
// Environment variable patterns
process.env.SUPABASE_URL
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL
import.meta.env.VITE_SUPABASE_URL2. HTML Meta Tags and Scripts
<meta name="supabase-url" content="https://abc123.supabase.co">
<script>
window.SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
</script>3. Configuration Objects
const config = {
supabase: {
url: 'https://abc123.supabase.co'
}
}URL Pattern Matching
Recognized patterns:
| Pattern | Example |
|---|---|
| Standard | https://abc123.supabase.co |
| With region | https://abc123.eu-central-1.supabase.co |
| Custom domain | Detected via API endpoint patterns |
Usage
Basic Extraction
Extract Supabase URL from https://myapp.example.comFrom Local Files
If you have downloaded the source:
Extract Supabase URL from ./dist/assets/Output Format
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
SUPABASE URL EXTRACTED
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Project URL: https://abc123def.supabase.co
Project Ref: abc123def
Region: us-east-1 (inferred)
Found in:
├── /static/js/main.abc123.js (line 1247)
│ └── const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123def.supabase.co'
│
└── /static/js/chunk.def456.js (line 89)
└── createClient('https://abc123def.supabase.co', ...)
API Endpoints:

├── Storage: https://abc123def.supabase.co/storage/v1/

"line": 1247,
"context": "const SUPABASE_URL = 'https://abc123def.supabase.co'"
}
]
}
}Multiple URLs
If multiple Supabase URLs are found:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
MULTIPLE SUPABASE URLS FOUND
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
⚠️ Multiple Supabase projects detected
1. https://abc123.supabase.co (primary - most references)
└── Found in: main.js, config.js
2. https://xyz789.supabase.co (secondary)
└── Found in: analytics.js
Using primary URL for further analysis.
To use a different URL, specify it manually.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════Validation
The skill validates extracted URLs by:
1. Format check — Matches expected Supabase URL patterns 2. Reachability check — Attempts to reach the REST API endpoint 3. Response validation — Confirms Supabase-like response
Validation:
├── Format: ✅ Valid Supabase URL format
├── Reachable: ✅ REST API responds (200 OK)
└── Confirmed: ✅ Response matches Supabase patternCommon Issues
❌ Problem: URL not found despite Supabase detection ✅ Solution: The URL may be in a dynamically loaded chunk. Try:
Extract URL with deep scan from https://myapp.example.com❌ Problem: URL found but validation fails ✅ Solution: The project may be paused or the region may have connectivity issues. The URL is still recorded.
❌ Problem: Only custom domain found ✅ Solution: Custom domains are valid. The skill will note it as a custom domain and attempt to identify the underlying project.
Security Notes
- This skill only reads publicly available code
- No authentication is attempted
- The URL alone does not grant access (key is also required)
Next Steps
After extracting the URL: 1. Run supabase-extract-anon-key to find the API key 2. Run supabase-extract-service-key to check for leaked service keys 3. Proceed to API auditing skills
MANDATORY: Progressive Context File Updates
⚠️ This skill MUST update tracking files PROGRESSIVELY during execution, NOT just at the end.
Critical Rule: Write As You Go
DO NOT batch all writes at the end. Instead:
1. Before starting any action → Log the action to .sb-pentest-audit.log 2. After each discovery → Immediately update .sb-pentest-context.json 3. After each significant step → Log completion to .sb-pentest-audit.log
This ensures that if the skill is interrupted, crashes, or times out, all findings up to that point are preserved.
Required Actions (Progressive)
1. Update `.sb-pentest-context.json` with extracted data:
{
"supabase": {
"project_url": "https://[ref].supabase.co",
"project_ref": "[ref]",
"endpoints": { ... }
}
}2. Log to `.sb-pentest-audit.log`:
[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [START] Beginning URL extraction
[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [SUCCESS] URL extracted: https://[ref].supabase.co
[TIMESTAMP] [supabase-extract-url] [CONTEXT_UPDATED] .sb-pentest-context.json updated3. If files don't exist, create them before writing.
FAILURE TO UPDATE CONTEXT FILES IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
