Single-thread, scripty Python crawls a website and prints a YAML report of broken links. This program is mostly for educational purposes. There's a multithreaded version here.
Run in a terminal:
python find_broken.py [URL]Ensure URL is an absolute url including schema, i.e. https://example.com.
The report will be YAML formatted. To save the output to a file, run:
python find_broken.py [URL] > [PATH/TO/FILE.yaml]You can add the current date to the filename using a command substitution, such as:
python find_broken.py [URL] > /path/to/$(date '+%Y_%m_%d')_report.yamlTo see how long the program takes to check your site, add time:
time python find_broken.py [URL]
