Mushroom 🍄

Expand a link.

Mushroom finds the final destination of a shortened (or not shortened) url.

Note: Not for psychedelic drug use

Usage

$mushroom = new Mushroom\Mushroom();

/// With a single bitly link
$mushroom->expand('bit.ly/xwzfs');
//// http://www.yourlink.com

/// With an array of links
$mushroom->expand(['bit.ly/1asdf','goog.it/sdfsd','somefulllink.com/foo']);
/// array http://somebitlylink.com, http://somegooglelink.com, http://somefulllink.com/foo

// Find the canonical url of some link (or set of links)
$mushroom->canonical('http://yourlink.com?utm_param=mushroom');
// http://www.yourlink.com
