What is URI Data?

URIdata.com is a simple URI data web service.

To be a little more specific, 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.

How do I query URI Data?

Via a simple HTTP GET call like such:

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

What does the URI Data response look like?

URIdata.com returns all data as JSON.

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

{
  "shorturi":"http://bit.ly/6oIpsb",
  "longuri":"http://blog.botfu.com",
  "title":"BotFu the blog - all about technology, sports, and random other things",
  "description":"",
  "keywords":[],
  "source":"direct follow"
}
