Cypress Assertion

I have a question regarding Cypress assertions, just recently start playing with this testing platform, but got stuck when the URL returns a random number as shown below.

/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/SITE?f=json&deep=true&token=SK42f-DZ_iCk2oWE8DVNnr6gAArG277W3X0kGJL1gTZ7W5oQAAV9iC4Zng4mf0BlulglN-10NK&dojo.preventCache=1575947662312

As you can see token is random and dojo.preventCache is also a random string. I want to detect this url and check if deep=true regardless the token number, but I don't know how to achieve this. 

cy.location('origin', {timeout: 20000}).should('contain', '/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/SITE?f=json&deep=true&token=**&dojo.preventCache=**');

Anyone any idea?

You can check both the path and query like this (note that cy.location('origin') doesn't yield neither pathname nor query from your original question, so I'm using cy.url()):

cy.url()
    .should('contain', '/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/SITE')
    .should('contain', 'deep=true');

or check each separately:

cy.location('pathname').should('contain', '/Geocortex/Essentials/REST/sites/SITE');
cy.location('search').should('contain', 'deep=true');

or, use a custom callback in which you do and assert whatever you want:

cy.url().should( url => {
    expect(/* do something with url, such as parse it, and access the `deep` prop */)
        .to.be.true;
});
