How this service works
URL expander / redirect chain tracer / link-shortener resolver. Returns every redirect hop with status, location, type, response time.
Output

Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you trace the full redirect chain for this link — https://bit.ly/3xAbCdE — and show me every hop it takes, the status code at each step, and where it ultimately ends up?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev/expand-urlWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve shortened URLs, audit redirect chains for security or analytics purposes, or verify that a link ultimately leads to an expected destination — without exposing the user's browser to the intermediate hops.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error
- URL that returns no redirects returns a single-hop result with 200
- Network timeouts on slow or unreachable hosts
- Redirect loops may cause the tracer to bail out after a max-hop limit
- Non-HTTP schemes (ftp://, mailto:) may not be supported
