How to use it

Input

{
  "urls": [
    {
      "url": "http://github.com"
    }
  ],
  "maxHops": 10,
  "includeHops": true,
  "maxItems": 100000
}

Sample output

  "startUrl": "https://example.com/item/1",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/item/1",
  "finalStatus": "ok",
  "redirects": "example",
  "totalHops": 42,
  "chainType": "example"
}
]

Typical uses

Link audits — where does a short/affiliate link really go?
SEO — verify canonical http→https and non-www→www redirects, spot chains/loops.
Security — reveal the final destination of suspicious links.

Pricing

$0.50 / 1,000 results ($0.0005 per result), plus a near-zero start fee. You are never charged beyond your limit, and blocked or failed items are reported honestly — not billed as data.

FAQ & limitations

Public data only — no login walls, no cookies required.
Rate limits on the source may require the proxy or a retry on very large pulls.
Every row reports its own status, so partial results are always labeled, never faked.
Integrations: output works with Zapier, Make, n8n, and any webhook via Apify's integrations.
Formats: results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the dataset.
