ApexAPI URL Expander

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve shortened URLs (bit.ly, tinyurl, t.co, ow.ly, etc.) to their full destinations without manually following redirects. Ideal for security checks, content verification, or when building workflows that process user-submitted links and need to know the real destination before acting on them.

• Invalid or malformed URL input returns an error
• URL shortener service is unreachable or defunct — link may be expired or dead
• Rate limiting or timeout if the redirect chain is too long
• Non-shortened URL passed as input may return unchanged or minimal result
• Private or login-gated destination URLs may not resolve fully
