longurl
=======

[](#longurl)

This library can be used to expand short URLs such as  and get the URL that is behind the short URL

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```

    "require": {
        "tzfrs/longurl": "0.0.4"
    }
}
```

Run `composer install` or `composer update`.

Attention
---------

[](#attention)

This library currently only supports methods for getting services, checking if an URL is a short URL and expanding URLs, because I'm just using it for a project that only needs these features. If you want extra features then just open an issue.

For caching, by default this library uses the /tmp/ directory. If you want to change it, just use the 2nd parameter of the constructor to define the cache path
