It's a little complicated. Sometimes the curl command further up works, but sometimes the redirection is done in an html meta tag or even with javascript. I have a messy python script that has a bunch of site specific code to bypass redirects and clean up tracking links. I can't post it in its present condition (it has some private info embedded) but I've been wanting to clean it up and post it sometime.
