Usage

The url-unshorten module exports a function that accepts a url and returns a promise that resolves with the array of the potential urls that redirect to the resolved unshorten one. For convenience it also outputs the unshorten url.

Example usage

const unshort = require('url-unshorten');

unshort('https://t.co/wy9S5P0Cd2')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.log);

The above snippet will output the following:

{
  urls: [
     'https://t.co/wy9S5P0Cd2',
     'https://nyti.ms/2KO3tC7',
     'https://trib.al/WeJspBJ',

  ],
