List of URI schemes

Namespace identifier assigned by IANA

This article lists common URI schemes. A Uniform Resource Identifier helps identify a source without ambiguity. Many URI schemes are registered with the IANA; however, there exist many unofficial URI schemes as well. Mobile deep links are one example of a class of unofficial URI schemes that allow for linking directly to a specific location in a mobile app.

Unofficial but common URI schemes

More information Scheme, Purpose ...

Scheme	Purpose	Defined by	General format	Notes
admin	URL scheme in the GNOME desktop environment to access file(s) with administrative permissions with GUI applications in a safer way, instead of the insecure-considered sudo, gksu & gksudo.	GNOME Virtual file system	`admin:/⟨path⟩/⟨to⟩/⟨file⟩` example: `gedit admin:/etc/default/grub`	See more information on:
app	URL scheme can be used by packaged applications to obtain resources that are inside a container.	Google	`app://⟨application⟩/⟨path⟩` example: `app://com.foo.bar/index.doc`	See more information on:
freeplane	Open a Freemind/Freeplane `.mm` file in the locally installed Freeplane application and optionally highlight a node in the opened mindmap.	Freeplane v1.3 and above	`freeplane:/%20⟨path to file⟩#ID_⟨node number⟩` `freeplane:/%20⟨path to file⟩#:⟨path⟩/⟨in⟩/⟨map⟩/⟨to⟩/⟨node⟩`
javascript	Execute JavaScript code	IETF Draft	`javascript:⟨javascript to execute⟩`
jdbc	Connect a database with Java Database Connectivity technology.	Database vendor dependent	`jdbc:somejdbcvendor:other_data...` `jdbc:oracle:oci:@host:port(sid or [/service])?params...` `jdbc:sqlserver://serverName\instanceName:portNumber;params...` `jdbc:mysql://host:port/database?params...`	Requires a vendor provided connector (jar archive) to be included in the client library.
msteams	Used by Microsoft to launch the Microsoft Teams desktop client.	Microsoft	`msteams:/l/...`	^[1]^[2]
ms-access ms-excel ms-infopath ms-powerpoint ms-project ms-publisher ms-spd ms-visio ms-word	Used by Microsoft to launch Microsoft Office applications.	Microsoft	`⟨scheme-name⟩:⟨command-name⟩\|⟨command-argument-descriptor⟩\|⟨command-argument⟩` example: `ms-excel:ofv\|u\|<https://contoso/Q4/budget.xls>`
odbc	Open Database Connectivity	IETF Draft
psns	Used by PlayStation consoles to open the PS Store application, also used by Media Go.	Sony (not public)	`psns://browse?product=⟨ContentID⟩`If entered without parameters, like `psns://` it opens the PS Store or Media Go app main page.
rdar	URL scheme used by Apple's internal issue-tracking system.	Apple (not public)	`rdar://⟨issue number⟩` example: `rdar://10198949`	Allows employees to link to internally-tracked issues from anywhere. Example of a private scheme which has leaked in to the public space and is widely seen on the internet, but can only be resolved by Apple employees.
s3	Used to interact programmatically with Amazon S3 bucket	aws-cli documentation	aws s3 sync /tmp/foo/ s3://bucket/ --recursive \ --exclude "" --include ".jpg" --include "*.txt"
trueconf	Used by TrueConf Server to interact with client applications.		`trueconf:[target][@server]&[param_1]=[value_1]&[...]&[param_n]=[value_n]`	See more information at
slack	Used by Slack to launch the Slack client.	Slack API reference	`slack://open?team={TEAM_ID}`
stratum	Connectivity URI for the Stratum protocol, used for proof-of-work coordination in pooled cryptocurrency mining.	Stratum Protocol Draft	`stratum+tcp://server:port, stratum+udp://server:port`	This protocol has completely superseded the now-obsolete Getwork protocol,^{[citation needed]} and was created primarily to reduce network overhead as mining pool sizes inevitably scale upwards.^[3]
viber	Open the locally installed Viber application to link to a view or perform an action, such as share an URL to a contact.	Viber API Documentation - Deep Links Viber API Documentation - Viber Share Button	`viber://pa?chatURI=⟨URI⟩` `viber://pa/info?uri=⟨URI⟩` `viber://forward?text=<ShareDescription>`
web+...	Effectively namespaces web-based protocols from other, potentially less web-secure, protocols.	This convention is defined within the HTML Living Standard specification	`web+⟨string of some lower-case alphabetic characters⟩:`	This convention is not associated with the registration of any new scheme but is currently a requirement as well as convention for non-whitelisted web-based protocols.
zoommtg zoomus	Used by Zoom conferencing software to launch the Zoom client.	Zoom developer community	`zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=⟨confno⟩...`	See more information at Zoom developer community
