#returns 'http://zfxxgk.nea.gov.cn/2022-01/17/c_1310427545.htm'

Above code returns the same url as I passed, but the url actually redirect to the other url. How can I get the after redirected url? Thank you

  • I know 4 methods to redirect page - HTTP 3xx, 2 methods HTML with tag <meta>, and JavaScript window.location = new_url - and requests can redirect only HTTP 3xx Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 7:38
  • are you sure it redirect page? Maybe it uses JavaScript to load new content without redirection. When I load this page in browser then I always see the same URL - but I don't know what is on page because I don't know chinese. Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 7:41
  • Thank you for your comments, furas! I typed redirected url in my code wrongly. Now I fixed it to 'zfxxgk.nea.gov.cn/2022-01/17/c_1310427545.htm' Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 8:39

with a curl-call

curl  http://zfxxgk.nea.gov.cn/2022-01/17/c_1310427545.htm

you get the source witch contains the javascript-redirect as furas mentioned:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">window.location.href="http://zfxxgk.nea.gov.cn/2021-12/31/c_1310427545.htm";</script>

If you got a "real" redirection you will find the new "location" in the header:

curl -I  http://something.somewhere

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 185
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://inder.net

If you need it an automation with python you should look at request.history as described in this answer to a similar question to find all redirections your call triggered: "Python Requests library redirect new url"
