- Modify the following line with your desired URL from which you want to extract links:
url = 'https://www.example.com/mypage'
- If you want to specify a different output file, modify this line:
filename = '/path/to/your/output/file.txt'
- Save the file and run it with Python 3:

- The output file will contain all the unique URLs found on the specified webpage, each URL will be on a new line.
Please be aware of the limitations and terms of use of the website you are scraping to ensure your actions are legal and ethical. This code extracts all URLs from the page. Depending on the structure of the site and how it builds URLs, you may need to adapt this script to filter and process URLs to get the ones you need.
