I would want to know if it's possible to trace the url to the new location
If the webmaster did a proper thing you'll get server 3xx HTTP header
that will point you to new URL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#3xx_Redirection
If you're using a good library to do your HTTP (like requests) the
URL-following is build in and free
r = requests.get('http://github.com')
r.url
'https://github.com/'
r.status_code
200
r.history
[<Response [301]>]
If you want to track changes just check if response.history has some items in
it.
