Redirect Chain Tracer

POST/api/v1/tools/redirect-chain2 credits per callredirectseohttp301302

Walks a URL's redirect chain one hop at a time and reports the status code and destination of each. Use it to find redirect loops, unnecessary hops costing you crawl budget, or an HTTPS upgrade that silently drops the path.

Why 2 credits?

Makes one request per hop rather than a single fetch. Most chains are one to three hops, so this is priced as a small multiple of a plain request.

Any HTTP client works. Replace the key with one from your dashboard.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer tb_live_<your_api_key>" \
