URIdata - A simple URI data web service.

What is URI Data?

URIData.com is a simple URI data web service.

The URIData.com web service provides (when possible) the long URI, title, description, and keywords for a given short URI in a simple JSON format.

You can also use the URIData.com web service to look up the related RSS feed, if it exists, for a given URI.

Via a simple HTTP GET call like such:

http://URIdata.com/http://bit.ly/6oIpsb

URIData.com returns all data as JSON.

As an example, the URI http://URIdata.com/http://bit.ly/6oIpsb returns:
