Hacker News Scraper: Dead Links & Archived Copies
Pricing
Pay per usage
Hacker News recommends links forever and never rechecks them. Point this at the front page, or at every story above 300 points from 2013, and it reports the dead links, the redirects that answer 200 OK while the article is gone, and the domains nobody has registered - with an archived copy of each.
You can access the Hacker News Scraper: Dead Links & Archived Copies programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in Integrations settings in Apify Console.
