How this service works
Short link expander: follows every redirect of a bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, goo.gl, git.io, lnkd.in or tracking link and returns the final destination URL, the hop chain with status codes, the final domain and whether it lands on HTTPS. Know where a link really goes. $0.01 per link.
Output
Returns the final destination URL after all redirects, the complete hop chain including each intermediate URL and its HTTP status code, the final domain name, and a boolean indicating whether the final destination is served over HTTPS.
Example use cases
Phishing link safety check
“I got a suspicious text message with this link — https://t.co/aB3kXyZ — can you trace where it actually redirects and tell me the final domain and whether it's on HTTPS?”
Newsletter tracking link audit
“This link in our email campaign goes through a bunch of tracking redirects: https://lnkd.in/eQ7wPmN — can you follow the full hop chain and show me the real destination URL?”
Developer link redirect debugging
“My git.io shortlink https://git.io/Jxk3T seems to be broken — can you expand it step by step and show me all the redirect status codes so I can figure out where it's failing?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://intel.rallylive.ca/data/url-expandWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to safely inspect a shortened or tracking URL before interacting with it, want to audit the full redirect chain (not just the final URL), or need to verify HTTPS compliance at the final destination. Ideal for phishing screening, email campaign auditing, and debugging misconfigured short links. Prefer this over simple HEAD-request tools when intermediate hop status codes and the full chain matter.
Side effects
- URL cannot be reached or times out — returns network error
- Redirect loop detected — chain resolution halted
- Input URL is malformed or missing — returns validation error
- Too many redirect hops — chain truncated or error returned
- Short link has expired or been deleted — returns 404 or dead-link status
