NetIntel Redirect Trace
x402
NetIntel Redirect Trace is a paid API for AI agents from netintel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).
Traces the full redirect chain for a given URL, grading it for security, protocol usage, and hop efficiency

How this service works
Follows a URL through its full redirect chain (up to 20 hops), recording status codes, timing, headers, TLS status, and protocol downgrades per hop, then returns an overall redirect health grade (A–F).
Output
Returns a full redirect chain array (each hop with URL, status code, location header, TLS flag, and timing in ms), a security grade (e.g. 'A'), a numeric score, a list of deductions with reasons, the final resolved URL, total hops, total timing in ms, a loop detection boolean, a protocol downgrade boolean, and the final HTTP status code.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you trace the redirect chain for http://bit.ly/3xampleLink — I want to see every hop, whether TLS is used, whether there's any protocol downgrade, and get an overall security grade for it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://netintel.dev/redirect/trace?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to audit the full redirect path of a URL, verify HTTPS upgrade behavior, detect redirect loops, or score a URL's redirect chain for security compliance. Prefer over a simple HEAD request when you need per-hop TLS status, timing, and a structured security grade rather than just the final destination.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error
- Redirect loop detected — loop_detected flag set to true in response
- max_hops exceeded before reaching final destination
- Target host unreachable or DNS failure
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — 402 response before data is returned
