Developers can use the API. It follows redirects safely, up to 10 hops, and returns the redirect chain, the final destination and a safety verdict. It works for zou.sh and for other shorteners such as bit.ly, tinyurl.com and t.co:
curl "https://api.blinkhop.com/v1/expand?url=https://zou.sh/launch"For a zou.sh link, GET /links/{code} returns its destination, clicks and creation date:
curl https://api.blinkhop.com/v1/links/launchAsk your AI assistant
