A Python program that crawls slithers 🐍 a website for links and prints a YAML report of broken links.

Python 3.6 or higher.

There are no external dependencies, Neo.

Run in a terminal:

python hydra.py [URL]

Ensure URL is an absolute url including schema, i.e. https://example.com.

The report will be YAML formatted. To save the output to a file, run:

python hydra.py [URL] > [PATH/TO/FILE.yaml]

You can add the current date to the filename using a command substitution, such as:

python hydra.py [URL] > /path/to/$(date '+%Y_%m_%d')_report.yaml

To see how long Hydra takes to check your site, add time:

time python hydra.py [URL]

Run:

python -m unittest tests/test.py
