I have a shortened url: https://dl.flipkart.com/s/XermJqNNNN

which expands to: https://www.flipkart.com/beatxp-prime-deep-tissue-electric-massage-gun-machine-full-body-pain-relief-percussion-massager/p/itmb8e3cc771527c?pid=MASGHMJHYUJCN3WQ&cmpid=product.share.pp&_refId=PP.f843e983-04ea-4b65-b58d-413f2d9ee16f.MASGHMJHYUJCN3WQ&_appId=CL

I want to retrieve this redirected URL.

import requests
def get_original_url(short_url):
    try:
        response = requests.get(short_url, allow_redirects=False)
        if 'Location' in response.headers:
            return response.headers['Location']
        else:
            return "Original URL not found in the response."
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
        return f"An error occurred: {e}"

I tried the above method which gives me the correct redirect URL in my local system(Windows). But returns the same shortened URL when deployed to the app service on Render(Linux).

  • This sounds like a problem with the way you're creating the redirect in the server-side code, not a problem with this code. Commented Aug 12, 2024 at 18:49
  • Hi Barmar, Could you please elaborate on your comment. Is this not the right way to create a redirect within the server? Is there any alternative way to achieve this in the server? Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 5:23
  • I thought the problem you're having is with the response you're getting from requests.get(short_url, allow_redirects=False). So you need to look at the code that responds to the dl.flipkar.com URL, not the code you posted here. Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 16:14
  • This code is just passing along whatever it receives from dl.flipkart.com. Commented Aug 13, 2024 at 16:15
