Querying the Crowd Bypass Server for a URL

To query the crowd bypass server for a url, send an application/x-www-form-urlencodedPOST request with the domain and path to crowd.fastforward.team/crowd/query_v1

Example

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

⚠️ Note how the protocol (https://) and the first "/" are not included in the form

Responses

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.
