How this service works
Link destination checker: reveals where a shortened or forwarding URL actually leads before you click it, returning the final resolved address and the full hop-by-hop redirect path. Protected against internal-network targets. Built for phishing triage, affiliate-link auditing, and safety screening ahead of automated browsing.
Output
Returns the final resolved destination URL after all redirects, plus the complete ordered list of intermediate hop URLs traversed along the redirect chain. Internal/private network targets are blocked for safety.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Before I click this link, can you check where it actually leads and show me every redirect hop along the way? The URL is https://bit.ly/3xAbc12 — I want to make sure it's not going somewhere sketchy.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/link-destination-checkWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to safely determine where a suspicious, shortened, or obfuscated URL leads before clicking or passing it to an automated browser. Ideal for phishing triage pipelines, affiliate link auditing, and pre-visit safety screening where exposing the actual destination URL and full redirect chain is required. Prefer this over generic HTTP clients because it handles multi-hop redirects, protects against SSRF via internal-network blocking, and returns the structured path rather than just following the link blindly.
Side effects
- URL resolves to an internal/private network address — blocked for security
- URL is malformed or unparseable — returns validation error
- Target server times out or is unreachable — returns timeout error
- URL contains no redirects and resolves immediately to itself
- Too many redirect hops (redirect loop) — returns loop detection error
