The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

jQuery longUrl: Uniform Resource Elongator

Submitted by Ben Alman on January 23, 2010 - 2:05pm

jQuery Long Url uses the longurlplease.com short URL lengthening API to expand short URLs from at least 80 services, including bit.ly, is.gd, tinyurl.com and more!

And not only has jQuery Long Url been written to take advantage of the longurlplease.com API “batch” ability, where up to ten URLs can be lengthened per request, but it can optionally use any lengthening service, supporting any URL-per-request “batch” limitations, which minimizes the number of external requests made for faster performance.

Full documentation, source, and examples are available on benalman.com.

Long URL Please

Submitted by darraghcurran on December 22, 2008 - 8:35pm

Long URL Please efficiently converts short urls (eg http://tinyurl.com/ay6g2t) to their originals (eg. http://blog.jquery.com/2008/12/22/help-test-jquery-13-beta-1/) so that you don't have to guess where links will bring you.

Use it on any site that sees lots of shortened urls to help reduce uncertainty for your users.

Firefox plugin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9549) and a bookmarklet available to take advantage everywhere.

Appends an expand link next to shortened URLs. The expand link will replace the shortened link with the final destination retrieved using LongURL.org.
