Django Regex matching long url

Question

I have this long url and I want to match the string after

?

and have it available in self.kwargs of Class Based View.

new_timer/?UID=046F1572564080&runtime=1102&seconds=30stillrunning=1&numstoredtimes=3&storedtimes=13:2-23:32-48:43&checksum=71

I tried the following and it's not working.

Urlpatterns = [

    # bunch of awesome urls

    url(r'^new_timer/(?P<params>[^/]+)/$',NewTimerView.as_view(),

        name='new_timer'),

]

What am I doing wrong?

Two mistakes in your regex: ^new_timer/(?P<params>[^/]+)/$

You are not matching ? at all. Also you will have to escape it.
You have / in end. Whereas there is no / in URL at end.

Correct regex should be: ^new_timer/\?(?P<params>[^/]+)$
