How to fetch redirected URL using python CURLOPT FOLLOWLOCATION not working

Certainly! If you're facing issues with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION not working for fetching redirected URLs in Python, you can use the requests library along with the allow_redirects parameter to manually handle redirection. Here's a step-by-step tutorial with code examples:
If you don't have the requests library installed, you can install it using:
We check the status code of the response. If it's a redirect (3xx status code), we extract the redirected URL from the 'Location' header.
We then make a new request to the redirected URL to get the final response.
The final redirected URL is printed, and you can use it as needed in your application.
This method allows you to handle redirection manually and can be a workaround if CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is not working as expected.
