About:
This tool scans web pages to detect and verify the presence of an Onion-Location header, which signals the availability of a Tor onion service mirror. It helps users and developers seamlessly transition from clearnet sites to their privacy-preserving .onion counterparts, enhancing anonymity and censorship resistance.
Key Features:
  • Checks URLs for the Onion-Location HTTP header
  • Simple command-line interface for quick lookups
  • Provides clear output indicating the onion service address
  • Python-based for easy integration into scripts
Use Cases:
  • Verifying if a website supports a Tor onion service before accessing it
  • Automating the discovery of onion mirrors for privacy-focused applications
  • Auditing clearnet sites for privacy-enhancing features
Alternatives:
  • curl – Manual alternative using `curl -I` to inspect headers; onion-location automates this specific check.
