'''TinyURL''', '''bit.ly''' and other similar services allow long URLs to be converted to smaller ones on their specific service; the small URL is visited by a consumer and their web browser is redirected to the long URL.

Such services are a ticking timebomb. If they go away, get hacked or sell out millions of links will be lost (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot Wikipedia: Link Rot]). [http://www.archive.org/details/301works Archive.org]/301Works is acting as an escrow for URL shortener databases, but they rely on URL shorteners to actually give them their databases. Even 301Works founding member ''bit.ly'' does not actually share their databases and most other big shorteners don't share theirs either.

| up to 5 characters, mixed case alphanumeric, currently around sot00 (as of 03:01, 14 December 2015 (EST)); Interestingly, the 3,822,506 codes from 4JXAG to 50000 are all empty. 4JXAG was created at "07/06/2011 17:06:46" while 50000 was created at "07/06/2011 03:00:00". 50je0 was created at {{url|1=http://www.migre.me/contar-cliques/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.migre.me%2F50je0|2=07/06/2011 17:05:05}}. So it looks like it was handing out both ranges for a few hours, then cut over to just 5's, leaving three million empty. Fascinating. Also, the 10,090,448 codes from 6jF0S (created at 05/12/2011 às 03:43:37) to 70001 (created at 23/11/2011 às 02:22:08) appear to be empty. As of 2016-05-04, we got ALL of it, although since it is still active, we'll need to do a re-check periodically. Recheck on 2017-02-18 starting from seq # 438648250, finished on 2017-02-27 at "w8zzz" (seq # 474886121). Recheck from there tried on 2017-06-12, but the site seemed unresponsive. ; site seems to be down as of 2019-04-02

| URL shortener for zapier .com. Their twitter integration will auto shorten links before it posts to twitter. Seems to be the only way to create links. You are able to do it with a free account but it takes some setup. On success it gives HTTP/1.1 302 and redirects to the URL via Location header. On fail it gives HTTP/1.1 200 and spits out a short json error (/--test--). Appears to be sequential (/nnidd and /nnide). Likewise /nnK7K and /nnK7L work but /nnK7l does not (as of 2017-09-29).

| ushare.education || 2016-11-19
* sbn.to - sbnation
| The resource-sharing website for Scottish educational resources (run in partnership with the Scottish Qualifications Authority). Not very active, or well known by students / teachers. Resources are shared by a URL, which is shortened. Resources also include a description and rating. All resources can be viewed through the "Search Resources" page, although this likely requires visiting all of the 101 pages in the search results. Each page holds roughly 10 results, so there is probably only around 1000 total URLs, with only a handful being added daily. URLs take the form: http://ushare.education/rsl/<ID>, with ID being an arbitrary non-user-definable string. However the URL shortener seems to have been poorly designed, and http://ushare.education/rsl/null is listed as a link to a resource, yet it does not work. Other links work, and it is currently unknown how many links suffer from this problem - perhaps there is only one. The links on the website are in fact full links to the original resources. This means that it is not necessary even to visit the links to determine their destination - simply parsing the href attribute of the link's tag will do.

|vk-cc.com || 2017-06-25
(please keep list alphabetized)
| (not the same as vk.cc) Russian url shortener for any url, not only from vk. You can shorten without registration Valid: "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", does not return Location. Invalid: "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found". As of 2017-06-25 the homepage says the total number of shorten links are 12144.(Does this include password protected, or only the public ones?) Example: https://vk-cc.com/1txW I shortened 6 urls, resulted with 4 to 6 characters, 0-1A-Za-z, with similar/same characters next to each other (XX, 0O), able to start with numbers. Also able to create custom short urls (with the field with the A - placeholder="Свой адрес короткой ссылки" with maxlength="50" (!)) Potencial issue: on the default, not registered shortening setting it has a 5-second contdown (intermediate page) and a clickable link after the countdown. Solvable by view-source:https://vk-cc.com/1txW, link on the 151th line (always at the same place with the default settings). TODO: explore short url options (timer, password, multiple urls...) creation with registration.

* eepurl.com - [[MailChimp]] - Allowed public shortening for a while; only allows use by MailChimp customers as of 01:35, 10 February 2016 (EST).

Format is <code>d[a-z0-9]{1,6}</code> and represents the deviation's ID number in base 36. Seems to restrict by user-agent: using <code>user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36</code> (GET and HEAD) provides a 301 redirect, destination in Location:, without 403 Forbidden.

* goo.gl - Google
* gsfn.us - [https://getsatisfaction.com/ Get Satisfaction] - 0-9a-z, appears sequential, highest ID around <code>5????</code> as of 2017-10-08. Simply redirected to <nowiki>getsatisfaction.com</nowiki>, which does the actual redirect. - Examples: <nowiki>http://gsfn.us/t/2aoq7</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://gsfn.us/t/51hin</nowiki>
* gty.im - Getty Images - Links by editorial number - Example: <nowiki>http://gty.im/488068439</nowiki>
* gyo.tc - [[Megalodon.jp]] - Short URLs for archived pages, IDs appear sequential, most likely matching <code>[a-zA-Z0-9]+</code>, some IDs like <code>a</code> or <code>aa</code> appear to be missing, though. (<code>a0</code>, <code>b</code>, <code>ab</code>, <code>aA</code> or <code>aaa</code> work fine.) Always returns 302, but if the ID is invalid, the Location header starts with <code><nowiki>https://megalodon.jp/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frequested_id</nowiki></code> instead of <code><nowiki>https://megalodon.jp/[date]/[url]</nowiki></code>. Example: <nowiki>http://gyo.tc/1KMbs</nowiki>
* hrts.me - University of Hertfordshire. Short codes seem to match <code>[a-zA-Z0-9]{5}</code>. No HEAD support; 301 + Location header on success, 404 on error. Mainly used on https://twitter.com/UniofHerts - Example (2017-08-21 13:45 UTC): <nowiki>http://hrts.me/J2o9h</nowiki>
* hub.me - HubPages - Two types of short URLs, starting with either "a" (for "article"?) or "r" (for "replies"?). The shortcode afterwards is then a base62-encoded ID (0-9a-zA-Z). Highest IDs as of 2017-10-09 near the example links. - Examples: <nowiki>http://hub dot me/alvyn</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://hub dot me/r1cxN</nowiki>
* igg.me - Indiegogo - Most seem to use chosen names - Examples: <nowiki>http://igg.me/at/defendbitcoinmagazine</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://igg.me/at/1NaE6yoZIaY</nowiki>
* kas.pr - Kaspersky Lab - Requires login; 302 redirect/404 error on GET, does not support HEAD -  Examples (2017-08-24): <nowiki>https://kas.pr/x4Hq</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://kas.pr/Hga7</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://kas.pr/A9Rp</nowiki>

* msft.it - Microsoft (or maybe something called "Sprinklr"?)
* mysp.ac - [[Myspace]]
* off365.ms - Office 365
* pixiv.me - [[Pixiv]] - Short URLs for user profiles, uses pixiv usernames, i.e. for a user named shapoco, the short URL is <nowiki>https://pixiv.me/shapoco</nowiki>. Returns 301 if the user exists, 404 otherwise.
* pixiv.net - [[Pixiv]] - /i/:id for short image URLs (i.e. <nowiki>https://pixiv.net/i/69467027</nowiki>), /u/:id for short user URLs (i.e. <nowiki>https://pixiv.net/u/24431887</nowiki>). If the given ID isn't in the <code>[0-9]+</code> range, the redirect on <code><nowiki>https://www.pixiv.net/[type]/[id]</nowiki></code> returns 404, otherwise it returns 301. Invalid IDs still redirect fine as long as they're in the <code>[0-9]+</code> range; for user pages the resulting page is returned with 200 regardless of whether the user actually exists, for illustration pages the possible codes are 200/404/400 for valid/non-extant/invalid IDs, respectively. Example of 404: <nowiki>https://pixiv.net/i/2442</nowiki>, example of 400: <nowiki>https://pixiv.net/i/24422222222222</nowiki>
* pocket.co - [[Pocket]]
* post.ly - [[Posterous]]
* pptv36.tv - PPTV HD 36, Thailand. - Examples (2019-05-07): <nowiki>http://pptv36.tv/rkG</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://pptv36.tv/vDo</nowiki>
* qr.ae - [[Quora]]
* redd.it - [[Reddit]]
* rsg.ms - Rockstar Games
* skfb.ly - Sketchfab - Maps to <nowiki>https://sketchfab.com/s/CODE</nowiki>, which performs the actual redirect. Some very old links appear to use 9-char lower-case alphanumeric codes. In February 2017, four-char codes of <code>[0-9a-zA-Z]</code> were exhausted, after which they apparently switched to five-char codes (same charset) starting around <code>6????</code>. - Examples: <nowiki>http://skfb.ly/mki3fe1d0</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://skfb.ly/GXzZ</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://skfb.ly/6nCrW</nowiki>
* t.co - [[Twitter]]
* tdrt.io - Techdirt
* tl.gd - [[TwitLonger]] - Maybe Sequential, site specific, maps directly to www.twitlonger.com - Examples (21:46, 12 April 2016 (EDT)):<nowiki>http://tl.gd/79aumf</nowiki> -> <nowiki>http://www.twitlonger.com/show/79aumf</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://tl.gd/n_1sn6j78</nowiki> -> <nowiki>http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sn6j78</nowiki>
* tmblr.co - [[Tumblr]] - HEAD and GET supported; 301 on success, 404 on error. The shortcodes are too long for terroroftinytown to handle. - Examples: <nowiki>https://tmblr.co/Z4fZpx1gfu_mU</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://tmblr.co/ZIKCSm1uGRMbv</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://tmblr.co/ZAvEqsfi4_rO</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://tmblr.co/Zqar4t1x8GPpN</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://tmblr.co/ZJ8Wby1L9QRac</nowiki>
* tmi.me - UberSocial - Message shortener (for Twitter) rather than URL shortener. Likely sequential. See first example link for some more info. - Examples (21:46, 12 April 2016 (EDT)): <nowiki>http://tmi.me/43vkS</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://tmi.me/1fdmrO</nowiki>
* tw.appstore.com - Apple App Store
* uoft.me - University of Toronto
* upl.nu - Ung Pirat (Youth Pirate Party, Sweden)
* wh.gov - White House - Just expands wh.gov into www.whitehouse.gov (as of 20:53, 5 December 2015 (EST), verified 2017-08-21 14:00 UTC) - Example: <nowiki>https://wh.gov/i3lXR</nowiki>
* wp.me - [[Wordpress.com]] - HEAD; 301 on success, 404 on error. The shortcodes can have two different formats. - Examples: <nowiki>http://wp.me/f2B5</nowiki>, <nowiki>http://wp.me/sf2B5-shorten</nowiki>, <nowiki>https://wp.me/a92Te1-q</nowiki>
** The simple format encodes a blog's "siteID" in base62 (0-9a-zA-Z).
** The more complex one is used for specific pages on a blog and matches <code>^https?://wp\.me/(?P<type>[sPpa])(?P<blogID>[0-9a-zA-Z]+)-(?P<identifier>.+)$</code>; the types stand for "slug", "page", "post", and "attachment", respectively. For "slug", the identifier is a custom-chosen name. "Page", "post", and "attachment" types map to the <code>page_id</code>, <code>p</code>, and <code>attachment_id</code> URL parameters, respectively (e.g. <nowiki>https://wp.me/Pf2B5-1</nowiki> -> <nowiki>http://en.blog.wordpress.com/?page_id=1</nowiki>), which then redirect to the relevant page or return a 404.
* youtu.be - [[YouTube]]
 
==== bit.ly aliases ====
 
A bit.ly alias works just like a bit.ly URL. The shortcode is the same, it sets the same bit.ly cookie, and DNS resolving the address shows the IP addresses are the same as bit.ly. The homepage may be different however. (Bit.ly IPs (as of 10/18/2016): 67.199.248.{10,11,12,13} see support.bitly dot com/knowledgebase/articles/76741-how-do-i-set-up-a-custom-short-domain-) In rare occasions such as with puri.na the shortcodes will resolve different though the puri.na example is the only example from a realistic scraping point of view so far.

==== tiny-url.info ====
Seems to provide a centralized place to create shortcodes on multiple services.  Provides sample shortlinks for each service, whether provider gives direct forwards, previews, ads or frames. Unfortunately it does not seem to have been updated for several years and the "state" column shows green for services that are down.

IRC channel #urlteam (on hackint)

TinyURL, bit.ly, and other similar services allow long URLs to be converted to smaller ones on their specific service; the small URL is visited by a consumer and their web browser is redirected to the long URL.

Such services are a ticking timebomb. If they go away, get hacked, or sell out, millions of links will be lost (see Wikipedia: Link Rot). Archive.org/301Works is acting as an escrow for URL shortener databases, but they rely on URL shorteners to actually give them their databases. Even 301Works founding member bit.ly does not actually share their databases and most other big shorteners don't share theirs either.

301Work cooperation

301works logo.jpg

The fine folks at archive.org have provided us with upload permissions to the 301Works archive: http://www.archive.org/details/301utm. They unfortunately do not want to make them downloadable, but the same data is in our torrents too, just in a different format (we use pipe-delimited, xz-compressed files while 301works uses comma-delimited uncompressed files).

Tools

Terror of Tiny Town

The easiest way to help with scraping is to run the Warrior and select the URLTeam 2 project. You can also run ToTT outside the warrior; to do so, follow the instructions at https://github.com/ArchiveTeam/terroroftinytown-client-grab.

Researching URL Shorteners

Here's what to do when you've come across a new URL shortener that should be archived. At minimum, please follow the first step. Anything beyond that is more helpful. Even if you don't know of any shorteners not on the list, additions, updates or verification of the information in existing shortener entries is very welcome!

  • Add it to the Alive section of this page in alphabetical order and include the current date. Please include whatever information you have, but at the absolute minimum, we need the domain.
    • To add a new shortener to the Alive section, you can follow this template:
|-  
| shortener url || date (YYYY-MM-DD)  
| information you have gathered on the shortener  
  • Check the homepage. Is there a public method to create a shorturl? If so, create one and include it in the entry. If not, note that in the entry.
  • If you were able to create a shorturl, try making a second. Is it sequential? For example, if the first link was foo.bar/dbE4g and the second link is foo.bar/dbE4h (or very close to it), it's probably sequential. If you get foo.bar/dbE4g followed by foo.bar/g4rTh, it's probably random. Note in the entry whether the shorturls are random or sequential.
  • Run curl -I http://url.short/validshortcode and see which HTTP status code is returned. Also note whether it returns the destination in the Location: header. Note both in the entry.
  • Run curl -I http://url.short/invalidshortcode and see which HTTP status code is returned. Note that in the entry.
  • If the above fails, make a note of it in the entry and try using curl -i instead of curl -I
  • Check the homepage, and see if they give a total number of shorturls that their service provides. If so, note that in the entry.
  • There are browser plugins/extensions available to make the requests described above from your browser for those without access to curl/command line. (Examples: Advanced REST Client, REST Console)

Common numbers

Suitable for use as sequence numbers.

26 letters + 10 digits 36
26 lower case letters + 26 upper case letters + 10 digits 62
36 possibilities ** 3 characters 46656
62 possibilities ** 3 characters 238328
62 ** 4 characters 14776336

ushare.education 2016-11-19 The resource-sharing website for Scottish educational resources (run in partnership with the Scottish Qualifications Authority). Not very active, or well known by students / teachers. Resources are shared by a URL, which is shortened. Resources also include a description and rating. All resources can be viewed through the "Search Resources" page, although this likely requires visiting all of the 101 pages in the search results. Each page holds roughly 10 results, so there is probably only around 1000 total URLs, with only a handful being added daily. URLs take the form: http://ushare.education/rsl/<ID>, with ID being an arbitrary non-user-definable string. However the URL shortener seems to have been poorly designed, and http://ushare.education/rsl/null is listed as a link to a resource, yet it does not work. Other links work, and it is currently unknown how many links suffer from this problem - perhaps there is only one. The links on the website are in fact full links to the original resources. This means that it is not necessary even to visit the links to determine their destination - simply parsing the href attribute of the link's tag will do.

Invalid: "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found". As of 2017-06-25 the homepage says the total number of shorten links are 12144.(Does this include password protected, or only the public ones?) Example: https://vk-cc.com/1txW I shortened 6 urls, resulted with 4 to 6 characters, 0-1A-Za-z, with similar/same characters next to each other (XX, 0O), able to start with numbers. Also able to create custom short urls (with the field with the A - placeholder="Свой адрес короткой ссылки" with maxlength="50" (!)) Potencial issue: on the default, not registered shortening setting it has a 5-second contdown (intermediate page) and a clickable link after the countdown. Solvable by view-source:https://vk-cc.com/1txW, link on the 151th line (always at the same place with the default settings).

  • gyo.tc - Megalodon.jp - Short URLs for archived pages, IDs appear sequential, most likely matching [a-zA-Z0-9]+, some IDs like a or aa appear to be missing, though. (a0, b, ab, aA or aaa work fine.) Always returns 302, but if the ID is invalid, the Location header starts with https://megalodon.jp/?url=http%3A%2F%2Frequested_id instead of https://megalodon.jp/[date]/[url]. Example: http://gyo.tc/1KMbs
  • hrts.me - University of Hertfordshire. Short codes seem to match [a-zA-Z0-9]{5}. No HEAD support; 301 + Location header on success, 404 on error. Mainly used on https://twitter.com/UniofHerts - Example (2017-08-21 13:45 UTC): http://hrts.me/J2o9h
  • hub.me - HubPages - Two types of short URLs, starting with either "a" (for "article"?) or "r" (for "replies"?). The shortcode afterwards is then a base62-encoded ID (0-9a-zA-Z). Highest IDs as of 2017-10-09 near the example links. - Examples: http://hub dot me/alvyn, http://hub dot me/r1cxN
  • igg.me - Indiegogo - Most seem to use chosen names - Examples: http://igg.me/at/defendbitcoinmagazine, http://igg.me/at/1NaE6yoZIaY
  • kas.pr - Kaspersky Lab - Requires login; 302 redirect/404 error on GET, does not support HEAD - Examples (2017-08-24): https://kas.pr/x4Hq, https://kas.pr/Hga7, https://kas.pr/A9Rp
  • lnkd.in - LinkedIn
  • mfi.re - MediaFire
  • mir.cr - Mirror Creator
  • msft.it - Microsoft (or maybe something called "Sprinklr"?)
  • mysp.ac - Myspace
  • off365.ms - Office 365
  • pixiv.me - Pixiv - Short URLs for user profiles, uses pixiv usernames, i.e. for a user named shapoco, the short URL is https://pixiv.me/shapoco. Returns 301 if the user exists, 404 otherwise.
  • pixiv.net - Pixiv - /i/:id for short image URLs (i.e. https://pixiv.net/i/69467027), /u/:id for short user URLs (i.e. https://pixiv.net/u/24431887). If the given ID isn't in the [0-9]+ range, the redirect on https://www.pixiv.net/[type]/[id] returns 404, otherwise it returns 301. Invalid IDs still redirect fine as long as they're in the [0-9]+ range; for user pages the resulting page is returned with 200 regardless of whether the user actually exists, for illustration pages the possible codes are 200/404/400 for valid/non-extant/invalid IDs, respectively. Example of 404: https://pixiv.net/i/2442, example of 400: https://pixiv.net/i/24422222222222
  • pocket.co - Pocket
  • post.ly - Posterous
  • pptv36.tv - PPTV HD 36, Thailand. - Examples (2019-05-07): http://pptv36.tv/rkG, http://pptv36.tv/vDo
  • qr.ae - Quora
  • redd.it - Reddit
  • rsg.ms - Rockstar Games
  • skfb.ly - Sketchfab - Maps to https://sketchfab.com/s/CODE, which performs the actual redirect. Some very old links appear to use 9-char lower-case alphanumeric codes. In February 2017, four-char codes of [0-9a-zA-Z] were exhausted, after which they apparently switched to five-char codes (same charset) starting around 6????. - Examples: http://skfb.ly/mki3fe1d0, https://skfb.ly/GXzZ, https://skfb.ly/6nCrW
  • t.co - Twitter
  • tdrt.io - Techdirt
  • tl.gd - TwitLonger - Maybe Sequential, site specific, maps directly to www.twitlonger.com - Examples (21:46, 12 April 2016 (EDT)):http://tl.gd/79aumf -> http://www.twitlonger.com/show/79aumf, http://tl.gd/n_1sn6j78 -> http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sn6j78
  • tmblr.co - Tumblr - HEAD and GET supported; 301 on success, 404 on error. The shortcodes are too long for terroroftinytown to handle. - Examples: https://tmblr.co/Z4fZpx1gfu_mU, https://tmblr.co/ZIKCSm1uGRMbv, https://tmblr.co/ZAvEqsfi4_rO, https://tmblr.co/Zqar4t1x8GPpN, https://tmblr.co/ZJ8Wby1L9QRac
  • tmi.me - UberSocial - Message shortener (for Twitter) rather than URL shortener. Likely sequential. See first example link for some more info. - Examples (21:46, 12 April 2016 (EDT)): http://tmi.me/43vkS, http://tmi.me/1fdmrO

  • wh.gov - White House - Just expands wh.gov into www.whitehouse.gov (as of 20:53, 5 December 2015 (EST), verified 2017-08-21 14:00 UTC) - Example: https://wh.gov/i3lXR
  • wp.me - Wordpress.com - HEAD; 301 on success, 404 on error. The shortcodes can have two different formats. - Examples: http://wp.me/f2B5, http://wp.me/sf2B5-shorten, https://wp.me/a92Te1-q
    • The simple format encodes a blog's "siteID" in base62 (0-9a-zA-Z).
    • The more complex one is used for specific pages on a blog and matches ^https?://wp\.me/(?P<type>[sPpa])(?P<blogID>[0-9a-zA-Z]+)-(?P<identifier>.+)$; the types stand for "slug", "page", "post", and "attachment", respectively. For "slug", the identifier is a custom-chosen name. "Page", "post", and "attachment" types map to the page_id, p, and attachment_id URL parameters, respectively (e.g. https://wp.me/Pf2B5-1 -> http://en.blog.wordpress.com/?page_id=1), which then redirect to the relevant page or return a 404.
  • youtu.be - YouTube

bit.ly aliases

A bit.ly alias works just like a bit.ly URL. The shortcode is the same, it sets the same bit.ly cookie, and DNS resolving the address shows the IP addresses are the same as bit.ly. The homepage may be different however. (Bit.ly IPs (as of 10/18/2016): 67.199.248.{10,11,12,13} see support.bitly dot com/knowledgebase/articles/76741-how-do-i-set-up-a-custom-short-domain-) In rare occasions such as with puri.na the shortcodes will resolve different though the puri.na example is the only example from a realistic scraping point of view so far.

Archives

Check out Audit2014 and help audit the archives. In particular, the stuff not on Internet Archive needs to be uploaded.

  • See the latest torrent release for URLs before Tinytown. A copy is available at URLTeamTorrentRelease2013July
  • Tinytown results are uploaded to the Internet Archive. They are incremental, so you will need to download them all to get all URLs. A (manually updated) list of all the torrents is available here.
    • They are formatted as follows:
      • Each IA item (which can be downloaded in full via BitTorrent or as a zip file) contains multiple zip files, named PROJECT_NAME.TIMESTAMP.zip (where PROJECT_NAME is the warrior project name (as listed in the table below, and on https://tracker.archiveteam.org:1338/status) and TIMESTAMP is a dash-separated timestamp matching the name of the item.
      • Each zip file contains a subdirectory matching the PROJECT_NAME, which contains a file named PROJECT_NAME.meta.json.xz and one or more files whose names start with one or more underscores, followed by .txt.xz.
      • The xz files can be decompressed with the wikipedia:XZ Utils.
      • The meta.json file is a copy of the project settings (as linked from the table below) at the time the dump was made.
      • The txt files contain the actual URLs, in BEACON format.
      • The simple description of BEACON format is that each line (except for a few header lines) consists of the shortcode, followed by a vertical bar, followed by the original URL.
