How this service works
Network, docs, image, web, and dev utility tools paid per call via x402. No signup, no API keys, no subscriptions — just USDC on Base.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'hops' array listing each redirect step (URL and HTTP status code) in order, and a 'final_url' string with the ultimate destination after all redirects are resolved.
Example use cases
Unmasking a suspicious short link
“I got this link in an email and I'm not sure where it actually goes — can you trace all the redirects for https://t.co/abc123XYZ and show me every hop so I can see if anything sketchy is going on?”
SEO redirect chain audit
“We set up a bunch of redirect rules last week and I need to verify they're working right — can you trace the full redirect chain for https://oldsite.com/promo and tell me every step and status code until it reaches the final URL?”
Affiliate link destination check
“Before I post this affiliate link in our newsletter, can you follow all the redirects for https://go.affiliatetracker.io/offer99 and confirm exactly where users will end up landing?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.geekvault.dev/net-tools/v1/redirect-trace?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically inspect the full redirect chain of any URL without setting up your own HTTP client, especially useful for security audits, SEO analysis, or verifying affiliate/marketing links. It requires no authentication or subscription — just a USDC micropayment per call, making it ideal for low-volume or one-off agent tasks.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL input returns an error
- URL is unreachable or times out — may return partial hop list or error
- Redirect loop detected — chain may be truncated to prevent infinite following
- Non-redirecting URLs return a single hop with the original URL and its status code
