Tired of suspicious shortened URLs? With URL Deshortify you can inspect any endpoint, figure out where it is leading you and if it's safe. Deshortify will:

• find out where the shortened URL is really leading you
• figure out if the landing page is protected with HTTPS
• doublecheck the website certificate and assert its validity

Let's take a shortened url like https://bit.ly/3pkH5T9. Where is it pointing to? Just make a request!

curl -X GET https://some-endpoint.deshortify.com/inspect?url=https://bit.ly/3pkH5T9

and you get:

{
  "target_url":"https://github.com/Ipanov7/deshortify-docs"
  "is_tls":true
  "is_redirect":true
  "tls_certificate":"OK"
}

• target_url: the actual URL destination
• is_tls: whether the target_url is protected by some kind of TLS certificate
• is_redirect: if true, the inspected URL will redirect to the target_url. Otherwise, it is already the final URL
• tls_certificate: additional information about the TLS certificate
