Check the links on a page or a small site and get one row per unique link: ok, redirect, broken, blocked, timeout, refused or skipped, with the HTTP status, the reason, where a redirect ends and the page the link was found on.
Find dead links with fewer false alarms: a link that answers HEAD with an error is confirmed with GET before it is called broken, and a bot-protected link is reported as blocked (status unknown), not broken.
Input
startUrls: up to 10 page or link URLs (localhost and private addresses are refused).mode:pageLinks(default; links on the pages you list),crawlSite(also reads same-host pages up tomaxPages),urlList(checks the URLs you list).maxLinks(default 200, max 2000),maxPages(10, max 100),checkExternal,includeImages,timeoutSeconds.
How it decides
HEAD first, then GET to confirm anything that is not a clean 2xx. Redirects are followed by hand (up to 5; loops are broken). 404, 410 and other 4xx confirmed by GET, 5xx twice, DNS failure, refused connection and TLS errors are broken. A 401, 403, 429, 999, a bot challenge or a robots.txt disallow is blocked: the site refuses automated checks, so its status is unknown. This actor does not try to get past a block. No answer after two tries is timeout. robots.txt is read for every host; two requests at a time per host.
Output
Dataset rows (view links) and a SUMMARY record in the key-value store with counts per verdict and notes (pages not read, caps reached). A bad link or an unreadable start page becomes a row, never a failed run.
Pay per event: US$0.0015 per link with a confirmed verdict (ok, redirect, broken). blocked, timeout, refused and skipped rows are returned but not charged.
