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.
