'''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.

The fine folks at archive.org have provided us with upload permissions to the 301Works archive: [http://www.archive.org/details/301utm 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).

| Popular URL shortener in the My Little Pony fandom. 61641 shorturls. Random identifiers, appear to be [a-zA-Z0-9]{5}. Valid links return a 302 redirect, destination in Location header. Invalid links return 302 with Location: http://derpy.me/. Lost its database once already in March 2015 (see http://derpy.me/about and https://twitter.com/derpyme/status/580403557939154944), unknown if newly generated links may collide with old ones from before then. Run by two people, contacted to inform about 301Works. Example links generated in quick succession: http://derpy.me/W0ocw http://derpy.me/GigAo.

|Used by www.qr-code-generator.com when logged in. This is a service that comes with a trial and later is paid for, so links are constantly rotting. Some codes redirect/301, but others have their own page with links or other media such as <nowiki>https://qrco.de/bdgA7O</nowiki> and <nowiki>https://qrco.de/bdgAAp</nowiki> (created sequentially); It appears that 6-character alphanumeric case-sensitive codes are currently being generated, but shorter codes (still case sensitive) are valid and work, up to and including single-number and single-letter shortened codes. The website will never 404, instead showing a simple information page for every ungenerated, arbitrary-length code. It appears that they are generated sequentially, with new characters added as needed.
| Danish URL shortener. No HTTPS. URLs are generated sequentially, starting at kortlink.dk/a, adding extra characters and ending in, at time of writing, kortlink.dk/xy5n. URLs are case insensitive. For 1 and 2 character URLs, the character set seems to be abcdefghijklmnoqrstuvwxyz0123456789, while it changes to abcdefghkmnpqrstuvwxyz23456789 for 3 and 4 characters. Total number of links today is therefore less than 838.260. Valid links return a 302 status code with a valid Location header, while invalid links return a 302 status code with an empty Location header.

|
|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.

| ushare.education || 2016-11-19
|w.wiki
| 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.

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. 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)  
| example URL
| 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)
