## 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 omniapi-url-expander-380e8f82 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you expand this shortened link for me and tell me where it actually goes: https://bit.ly/3xK9mZq

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve shortened, aliased, or redirect-chained URLs to their true destinations — especially useful for security screening, link auditing, or extracting canonical URLs from marketing or social media links. Prefer this over manual browser checks when processing URLs in bulk or within an automated workflow.

## Known failure modes

- URL does not exist or has expired — returns error or empty result
- Network timeout when following redirect chain
- Malformed or non-URL query input returns validation error
- Destination URL is behind a login wall and cannot be fully resolved
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol

## How this service works

## Output
