Description:

Expand-URL is an API (Application Program Interface) developed using light-weight Python framework - "Bottle".

Expand-URL returns a chain of URLs which a shortened URL will go through, while navigating to the final long URL.<br>In short, now you have an end point where you can ping a short URL (shortened by any of the URL shorteners), and get the final long URL as the response to the API call.

In Dev Sprint, I'll be replicating this API and will teach how to build APIs using Python (Bottle framework).

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of Python
• Knowledge of various HTTP response codes
• Enthusiasm to learn how to build basic, yet powerful APIs
