Realurl

A simple command-line/module to convert short url's to the original url.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install realurl -g

I would recommend installing it globally so you can use it from the command line.

From the command line

$ realurl http://goo.gl/BGV9x

Retrieving the real url for: http://goo.gl/BGV9x

Real URL location:
https://github.com/manuelvanrijn/node-realurl

Result has been copied to your clipboard

Within your NodeJS project

var realurl = require('realurl');
realurl.get('http://goo.gl/BGV9x', function(error, result) {
   // error = null;
   // result = "http://github.com/manuelvanrijn/node-realurl";
});

realurl.get('http://this-is-not-a-real-url.com/at-all', function(error, result) {
   // error = Error('URL resulted in a 404');
   // result = null;
});

realurl.get('', function(error, result) {
   // error = Error('Please specify a short url');
   // result = null;
});
