## 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 yruz-url-redirect-checker-41ecc67a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check where this URL actually ends up redirecting to: https://bit.ly/3xAbc12 — I want to see the full redirect chain and the final destination.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically trace the complete redirect chain of a URL, especially for link verification, security auditing, shortened URL resolution, or confirming marketing and affiliate links land on the intended destination. Prefer this over manual inspection when automating link audits at scale or when integrating redirect checking into an agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed URL returns an error
- URL is unreachable or times out
- URL returns no redirects (direct response with no chain)
- Non-HTTP/HTTPS URLs are rejected
- Server blocks automated redirect following, returning incomplete chain
