title: Can a Jupyter / IPython notebook take arguments in the URL?
body: <p>Is it possible to write an Jupyter notebook such that parameters can be passed in via the URL of the notebook?</p>
  
  <p>Example, for a URL such as this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://jupyter.example.com/user/me/notebooks/notebook1.ipynb?Variable1=Value1&amp;Variable2=Value2
  </code></pre>
