How this service works
URL expansion API: safely follow a short or redirecting link (up to 6 hops, SSRF-guarded) and return the final URL, complete redirect chain, and final HTTP status — see where a link REALLY goes before touching it. For link-safety checks, affiliate auditing, and phishing triage.
Output
Returns the fully resolved final URL after following all redirects (up to 6 hops), the complete ordered list of intermediate redirect URLs, and the HTTP status code of the final response. SSRF protections are applied to prevent requests to internal/private network addresses.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you trace where this link actually goes before I click it — https://bit.ly/3xKqPWz — and show me the full redirect chain and final destination?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.forgemesh.io/url-expandWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to safely resolve a shortened, obfuscated, or multi-hop redirect URL to its true destination without exposing internal infrastructure. Ideal for phishing triage, affiliate link auditing, or any scenario where you need to know the real endpoint of a link before acting on it. Prefer this over a raw HTTP client when SSRF protection and hop-by-hop chain visibility are required.
Side effects
- URL exceeds 6 redirect hops — chain truncated or error returned
- Target URL is unreachable or returns a network timeout
- SSRF guard blocks internal/private IP address targets
- Malformed or missing URL input returns validation error
- Target server returns non-standard redirect that cannot be followed
