import unshortenit
# Unshorten known ad urls.
# This call will not generate any HTTP requests unless the passed
# URL is a known ad/shortening link, and the library knows how to
# unshortedn said link.
unshortened_uri, status = unshortenit.unshorten_only('http://ul.to')
# Unwrap any HTTP 30x redirects (if present). This will *always* issue a HTTP
# HEAD request, even if there is not a 30x redirect on the passed link
# (you cannot tell if a redirect is present without making a request).
unshortened_uri, status = unshortenit.unwrap_30x_only('http://ul.to')
# Unshorten any ad content, and unwrap any HTTP 30x redirects (if present).
# Internally, this basically calls unshorten_only(), and then unwrap_30x_only()
# sequentially on the passed URL, returning early if the unshorten_only()
# call returned an error.
unshortened_uri, status = unshortenit.unshorten('http://ul.to')
All calls will return a tuple (unshortened_uri, status)
unshortened_uri will contain the unshortened uri. If you pass in a non-shortener url it will return the original url. status will contain the status code or any error messages
