About this project

Clean URLs from monetized link shorteners. Currently works with Linkvertise. More coming.

Report
Description

Unshort

Python Playwright curl_cffi Linkvertise License

Unshort unwraps monetized shortlinks and prints the real destination URL. Minimal CLI, no browser extension, no compiled binary.

Unshort terminal preview

See the terminal preview above for sample output.

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt
playwright install chromium
python unshort.py --help

Usage

Drag unshort.py into your terminal after python, then paste the shortlink:

python unshort.py "https://linkvertise.com/ID/slug?o=sharing"

Quiet mode prints only the destination URL:

python unshort.py -q "https://linkvertise.com/..."

Use --visible if you want to watch the browser step.

Supported shorteners

  • Linkvertise
  • More coming

How it works

Unshort uses Playwright once to load the Linkvertise page and collect the same session cookies a real browser gets. It then reuses those cookies with curl_cffi, which sends Chrome-like TLS requests to Linkvertise's GraphQL API, resolves the link metadata, completes the required task flow, and returns the final destination URL.

Coming soon

  • lockr.so
  • lootlabs
  • work.ink
