From the documentation of 'url' , it looks like the URL object should be upper case:

const URL= require("url").URL;

In your code, you use :

const URL= require("url").Url;

NodeJS documentation for the URL module says :

const { URL } = require('url'); // No .Url and with { }

const myURL = new URL('https://example.org/?abc=123');
console.log(myURL.searchParams.get('abc'));

Edit

const { URL } is called destructuring assignment.

This code works for me, tested in Node v7.9 :

const { URL } = require("url");
const URLSearchParams= require("url");
var url_string = "http://www.example.com/t.html?a=1&b=3&c=m2-m3-m4-m5";
var url = new URL (url_string);
var c = url.searchParams.get("a");
console.log(c); // logs : 1
