Scraping actual URL from a shortened link

Support
#1

I'm wondering if there's a way for SEOTools to find the actual URL from a shortened URL.

As an example, if a column in Excel listed the shortened URLs (e.g. bit.ly/1293), could SEOTools take the shortened URL, find the actual one and return the result?

Use SeoTools' UnshortUrl() function (under HTTP) to do this.

=UnshortUrl( "http://bit.ly/1293" )
