How this service works
Follow the redirect chain of a URL (up to 10 hops): status code and time of each hop, final URL, domain changes and HTTPS-to-HTTP downgrades. Unmask short and affiliate links before visiting them.
Output
A JSON object with the starting URL, final destination URL, number of redirects, total time in milliseconds, final HTTP status code, a boolean indicating if the domain changes, a boolean indicating if the chain downgrades to HTTP, and a hops array where each element contains the URL, HTTP status code, destination of that hop, and milliseconds taken.
Example use cases
Unfurl shortened link before sharing
“I have this short link bit.ly/3xYz9Ab and I want to know exactly where it ends up before I send it to anyone — can you trace the full redirect chain and show me the final URL?”
Security check for suspicious redirect
“Someone sent me this link http://track.suspiciousdomain.com/click?id=abc123 — can you follow all the redirects and tell me if it ever switches to a different domain or drops down to plain HTTP?”
Diagnose slow page load from redirects
“Our marketing landing page http://go.mycompany.com/summer-sale seems slow — can you trace how many redirect hops it goes through and how long each one takes?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/v1/url-redirects?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve the full redirect chain of any URL, especially to detect domain changes, HTTPS downgrades, redirect depth, or per-hop latency — particularly useful for link safety checks, marketing analytics, and debugging slow redirects. Prefer this over a simple HTTP HEAD request when you need the complete hop-by-hop breakdown rather than just the final destination.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error
- URL that results in a redirect loop may time out or return an error
- Unreachable host returns a connection error
- URL protected by bot detection may block the tracer and return an unexpected response
- Non-HTTP/HTTPS schemes are not supported
