DeadLinks
A tool for crawling and finding links to URLs which no longer exist. deadlinks supports the HTTP(s) and gemini protocols, and is intended for periodically checking links on personal websites and blogs.
Library
The deadlinks package is designed to be easily embedded into a process and
have its results displayed in something like a status page.
Command-Line
The command-line utility can be installed using go install:
go install code.betamike.com/mediocregopher/deadlinks/cmd/deadlinks
The -urls parameter is required. Given one or more URLs it will check each one
for any dead links:
deadlinks -urls 'https://mediocregopher.com,gemini://mediocregopher.com'
Any links which are dead will be output to stdout as YAML objects, each containing the dead URL, the error encountered, and which pages link to it.
In order to recursively crawl through links you can give one or more regex patterns. Any URL which matches a pattern will have its links checked as well (and if any of those link URLs match a pattern their links will be checked, and so on):
deadlinks \
-urls 'https://mediocregopher.com,gemini://mediocregopher.com' \
-patterns '://mediocregopher.com'
There are further options available which affect the utility's behavior, see
deadlinks -h for more.
