wtfisthis
WTFisthis is a super simple http server that handles any URL and returns a JSON with some information about that URL, such as content type, length, url parts, if it's an image, a video, and so on.
How to use
Make a call to the API endpoint:
GET /api/:url
The URL must be encoded, so https://images.org/image.jpg becomes https%3A%2F%2Fimages.org%2Fimage.jpg
The response will be like this:
{
"error": false,
"code": 200,
"is": {
"image": true,
"audio": false,
"video": false,
"html": false,
"xml": false,
"css": false,
"javascript": false
},
"content": {
"type": "image/jpeg",
"length": "106820"
},
"url": {
"isSsl": false,
"isHttp": true,
"protocol": "http",
"host": "images.org",
"port": null,
"hostName": "images.org",
"hash": null,
"search": null,
"query": null,
"queryParams": {},
"pathName": "/image.jpg",
"path": "/image.jpg",
"href": "http://images.org/image.jpg"
}
}
