    Yes, that’s absolutely right. You’ve seen that a lot of people like to use URL shorteners to mask their original site.

    This bypasses any URL shortener, though it still has some little tweaking to do from my end. I will maintain it regularly so that you’re going to get good results.

    Any sites that are using it excessively will be banned, I will only allow up to 1000 checks per day. If you think you need more, feel free to e-mail me at me@bilawal.co.uk and I’ll help you out.

    Okay, a bit of information:

    http://www.bilawal.co.uk/API/OriginalURL.xml

    Parameters:
    url – This is the URL that you’d like to be checked, example ‘http://tinyurl.com/4a8a’.

    The results are outputted in XML, and you can see a live example here: http://www.bilawal.co.uk/API/OriginalURL.xml?url=http://tinyurl.com/buddun

    The conducts the result for the founded URL from the URL shortener.

    Error reporting:
    1 – The URL seems to be incorrectly formatted.
    2 – We failed to resolve a host name for the URL provided.
    3 – Our system failed to respond to your request, we might be busy at this time.

    If you need anything else, just give me a shout! Thanks.
