Get window URL in AMP

Question

I have been trying to use the window.location.search inside my custom javascript to get the page URL in AMP page but I am getting empty field. Is there any way/function by which I can get the page URL?

To maintain AMP's performance guarantees, custom JS code runs in a Web Worker, and certain restrictions apply. So you can't act on elements that are outside of the <amp-script> component (Web Worker). In other words, it's virtual DOM. Documentation for <amp-script> component.

Here is a very similar question. Also check these comment posted by @Weston Ruter, that might be a solution for your problem.

Alternatively you can try using PHP instead.
