## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability nexusapi-url-expander-12fe9221 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you expand this shortened URL and tell me where it actually goes: https://bit.ly/3xYz9qA?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve shortened URLs (bit.ly, tinyurl, t.co, etc.) to their full destinations, especially before clicking unknown links, verifying shared URLs for safety, or extracting the true target of a redirect chain.

## Known failure modes

- Shortened URL no longer exists or has expired — returns error or null destination
- URL service is unreachable — network timeout or error response
- Input is already a full URL or not a valid URL — may return as-is or error
- Rate limiting or blocked by upstream URL shortener service

## How this service works

## Output

The endpoint returns the full, expanded destination URL that the shortened or obfuscated link resolves to, potentially including intermediate redirect hops.
