🎯 Why You Need This

When building web scrapers, data pipelines, CRM integrations, or marketing analytics datasets, you frequently encounter raw, "dirty" URLs:

Shortened links: bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl.com, youtu.be, amzn.to that hide the real destination.
Tracking & Affiliate bloat: invasive query strings like utm_*, fbclid, gclid, Amazon affiliate tags, social media referrer IDs that break deduplication and privacy.
Search engine wrappers: google.com/url?q=... redirects that don't need real HTTP roundtrips.
Missing context: raw links lack title, preview image, language, or content classification.

URL Resolver & Enricher solves all of this automatically: it normalizes URLs, strips unwanted parameters, and turns links into rich, structured content cards.

✨ Key Features

Lightweight & Fast (HEAD-first):
- Follows HTTP redirects using lightweight HEAD requests without downloading page bodies.
- Falls back to GET only when encountering HTML meta refresh or JavaScript redirects.
Instant Google Redirect Unpacking:
- Detects google.com/url?q=... links and resolves them instantly in-memory with zero network overhead.
Deep Parameter Sanitization:
- Strips 180+ known tracking, analytics, and affiliate parameters:
  - Google Analytics / Ads (utm_*, gclid, gbraid, wbraid)
  - Meta / Facebook (fbclid, fb_action_*, fb_source)
  - Social trackers (Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, Medium, LinkedIn)
  - Affiliate & Marketplace tags (Amazon tag, ref_, pd_rd_*, creative, qid, eBay, ShareASale)
- Preserves all legitimate application parameters (e.g. v for YouTube videos, search queries, pagination).
Smart Metadata Enrichment:
- Downloads only the first 64 KB (configurable) of HTML to extract <head> tags without loading full pages or media.
- Extracts:
  - Open Graph: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:site_name, og:type
  - Page language from <html lang>, og:locale, or linguistic heuristics
  - Inferred content type: article, video, product, social, audio, or webpage
  - Publication time (article:published_time)
  - Website favicon
Apify Residential Proxy Integration:
- One-click toggle (use_proxy: true) routes requests through Apify Residential Proxies with optional country selection (proxy_country: "US").
Anti-Bot Browser Impersonation:
- Built-in support for TLS fingerprint mimicry (curl_cffi Chrome/Safari impersonation) to resolve antibot-protected websites (Cloudflare, Akamai).
