url.origin is an inbuilt application programming interface(API) of the URL class within the url module.
url.origin API is used to gets the read-only serialization of the URL’s origin.
Syntax: url.origin url : It is an object created by URL constructor.
Example 1:
//Importing the url module
const url = require('url');
//Creating an URL_1 object with URL constructor.
const URL_1 = new URL("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/geeks");
//Getting origin of above created URL_1 object
console.log(URL_1.origin);
Output:

Note: We can not set the origin of URL using url.origin API. If we try to do it then it will be ignored and origin will not be effected.
Example 2:
//Importing the url module
const url = require('url');
//Creating an URL_1 object with URL constructor.
const URL_1 = new URL("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/geeks");
//Getting origin of above created URL_1 object
console.log(URL_1.origin);
//Setting URL_1 origin to https://www.geeks.com
URL_1.origin = "https://www.geeks.com";
//Getting origin after setting URL_1 origin
console.log(URL_1.origin);
Output:
