#How do I get the dynamic route value for an API handler?

Hello gurus,
I'm attempting to load a "segment" through a fetch request via an API endpoint fetch request in Next.js 13. So far I can get the GET handler to call server side via a client component (yay!). However, I'm struggling to figure out how to get the UUID in the url. I could get that by splitting the url, yet is there a better way?

// src/app/api/segments/[uuid]/route.ts

import { update } from '@/components/data/SegmentJsonConnector';
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
import { Segment } from '@/components/data/model/Segment';
import { SegmentResponseData } from '../route';

// Get a single segment
export async function GET(req: NextRequest, res: NextResponse<SegmentResponseData>) {
  try {
    // 🤩 I can get here so far! How do I get the UUID from /api/segments/[uuid]?
    console.log(req.url);

  } catch(err) {
    console.log('segments api GET error', err);
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'An API access error occurred. Tell an adult!' },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }
}
