Is it possible to make such a thing working if using command-line programs such as curl or wget to download a file rather than opening it in the web browser?

  It should totaly be possible. Same as with the DNS solution you can get the data via the api of unshort.link and than build a small bash script for it. If I have time I may try to do such a script, but not sure if and when I will be able to make it. Would be awesome if you build something like that! You can get the currently to unshort.link known short link providers in a nice json format from https://unshort.link/providers https://unshort.link/providers You can get the redirect info from unshort link also via its api without redirecting, just replace /d/ with /api/ in the GET request: e.g. https://unshort.link/api/https://tinyurl.com/unshortchromeex.. https://unshort.link/api/https://tinyurl.com/unshortchromeex.... If you build a solution, please do not forget to add the documentation on how to do it via a pull request to the unshort.link repo, so everyone could profit from it

  This is what I use which also removes utm_* tracking parameters. getloc () { curl -sI "$1" | grep -i "Location" | awk '/http.*/{print $2}' | sed 's/[%+]*//g' | sed 's/&*utm_[a-zA-Z0-9]*=[a-zA-Z0-9]*//g' | sed 's/?\s*$//g' }
