Efficiently audit your website's links in bulk to identify broken links, 404 errors, 500 server issues, timeouts, and redirects, complete with anchor text and the context of the source page.
The API returns a comprehensive report detailing broken links, including the source URL, link URL, HTTP status code, status text, anchor text, and whether the link is internal or external. This data helps users identify and rectify issues within their website's link structure.
The key fields in the response data include `sourceUrl` (the page containing the link), `linkUrl` (the broken link), `statusCode` (HTTP response code), `statusText` (description of the status), `anchorText` (text of the link), and `isInternal` (indicates if the link is internal).
The response data is organized as an array of objects, each representing a broken link instance. Each object contains fields that provide specific details about the broken link, making it easy to parse and analyze the results programmatically.
The API provides information on broken links, 404 errors, server issues (500 errors), timeouts, and redirects. It also includes the anchor text associated with each link and the context of the source page, offering insights into the website's link health.
Users can customize their requests by specifying the URL of the website they wish to audit. Additional parameters may be included to refine the scan, such as limiting the depth of the crawl or focusing on specific link types, depending on the API's capabilities.
Typical use cases include website audits for SEO optimization, improving user experience by fixing broken links, and maintaining website integrity. Digital marketers and content managers use this data to enhance site performance and ensure all links are functional.
Data accuracy is maintained through systematic scanning of the specified website's links. The API checks the HTTP status codes returned by each link, ensuring that only current and valid data is reported. Regular updates and checks help ensure reliability.
Users can expect to see patterns such as multiple broken links from a single source URL, common status codes like 404 and 503, and varying anchor texts. Analyzing these patterns can help identify recurring issues and prioritize fixes effectively.
