Find broken links on a website

Crawl up to 5 pages of a site (more with the API) and check every internal and external link, with the page each broken link was found on.

Need this at scale?

The same lookup is one API call at 1 credit / page (one credit is $0.0003 to $0.001 depending on volume), with failed requests free.

curl "https://api.gridlode.com/v1/url/broken-links?url=https%3A%2F%2Fquotes.toscrape.com" \

How many pages does it check?

The free tool crawls 5 pages. The API crawls up to 100 pages per call at 1 credit per page; link checks are free.

Does it respect robots.txt?

Yes, by default. It also slows down when a site asks it to.

Why are some links unverified?

Some sites (often social networks) refuse automated checks with 403 or 999. We list those separately instead of calling them broken.
