Bulk URL Status and Redirect Chain Checker API

The status code of every URL in a list, so the 404 pages and dead destinations stand out. Here eight addresses on the Python site, its documentation and an example domain; four of them do not exist. Paste the URLs of a crawl, a sitemap or a Search Console export instead.
