Redirect checker, URL unshortener: the full redirect chain

$0.01 per call · failed calls are never charged · no account or API key needed

Follow a URL's redirects hop by hop (up to 10) and return every hop's status code and Location, the final URL, total hops, timing and whether it loops. Expands short links (bit.ly, t.co…) to their destination without loading the page. Every hop is checked before it is requested; redirects to private addresses are reported, not followed. Use to unshorten a link, check an HTTPS or www redirect, or debug SEO redirect chains.

Request

Over HTTP, with a card key from /credits:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_…" "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/url/redirects?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com"

Or one of your 25 free calls, no key:

curl "https://agent-data-tools.revmesh2074.workers.dev/url/redirects?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com&trial=1"

Without a key, the same URL answers 402 Payment Required with x402 and MPP terms, so an agent with a wallet pays per call in USDC (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum or Solana over x402; Base or Tempo over MPP) and retries.
