URL Interface

The URL Interface is a concept that allows you to append any URL to interweb.wtf/clean/ and have the URL cleaned automatically.

Example

If you navigate to interweb.wtf/clean/https://interwebalchemy.com/posts/building-a-chess-tutor?utm_source=interweb.wtf&utm_campaign=docs, the URL will be cleaned automatically and you will be presented with https://interwebalchemy.com/posts/building-a-chess-tutor.

CLI API

The URL Cleaner CLI API is an API interface that allows you to remove tracking parameters from any URL by making a GET request to the /clean endpoint.

Example

curl --header "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
--location "https://www.interweb.wtf/cli/v0/clean/\
https://interwebalchemy.com/posts/building-a-chess-tutor\
?utm_source=interweb.wtf&utm_campaign=docs"

Note: Replace $API_KEY with an API Key you generated in Settings > Developer.
