Unalix

Unalix is a library and CLI tool written in Nim, it implements the specification used by the ClearURLs addon for removing tracking fields from URLs.

Installation

Install using nimble:

nimble install --accept 'unalix'

Note: Unalix requires Nim 1.4.0 or higher.

Usage:

Removing tracking fields:

import unalix

const url: string = "https://deezer.com/track/891177062?utm_source=deezer"
let result: string = clearUrl(url = url)

assert result == "https://deezer.com/track/891177062"

Resolving shortened URL:

import unalix

const url: string = "https://bitly.is/Pricing-Pop-Up"
let result: string = unshortUrl(url = url)

assert result == "https://bitly.com/pages/pricing"

Tip: The unshortUrl() proc will strip tracking fields from any URL before following a redirect, so you don't need to manually call clearUrl() for it's return value.

Downloads
