Crowd Query
Don't waste your time with compliance. FastForward automatically skips annoying link shorteners.
To query the crowd bypass server for a url, send an application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request with the domain and path to crowd.fastforward.team/crowd/query_v1
To query for "https://shortlinksite.example/9njv3", send the POST request domain=shortlinksite.example&path=9njv3 to crowd.fastforward.team/crowd/query_v1
This will return text/plain response asitenotrelatedtopiracy.example
The server will return one of the following responses
| Status Code | Response | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 200 | text/plain | The link was found in the database and returned |
| 204 | empty | The link was not found in the database |
There is a one in 10 chance that the server will return a 204 when the link is found in the database. This is done to have the target verified occasionally.
The FastForward server uses the following error codes:
