Resolve shortened URLs to detect phishing, fraud, and affiliate hijacking by revealing the final destination behind bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, and other shortener services. Process hundreds of URLs in parallel with full redirect chain visibility.
Features
- Full redirect chain — traces every hop from the short URL to the final destination
- Universal shortener support — works with bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, goo.gl, ow.ly, and any HTTP redirect-based shortener
- Bulk resolution — resolve hundreds of shortened URLs concurrently in a single run
- Phishing detection — reveal hidden destinations to identify malicious or deceptive links
- Custom User-Agent — configure the UA string to handle shorteners that block non-browser requests
