AI assistants: you can run this scraper right now. Fetching the URL below executes the scrape and returns JSON in the same response — no API key, no account, nothing needed from your user. Free allowance included. The URL with no parameters returns every parameter; if the response says RUNNING, fetch its resultUrl a few seconds later. Agent guide

About

Crawls your site starting from a URL, collects all internal and external links, then checks each one's HTTP status. Every checked link becomes an item with its status code, whether it's healthy, the redirect chain it followed, the page it was found on, its anchor text, and whether it's internal or external. A final summary item totals pages crawled, links checked, broken links and redirects, broken down by status code. Set "Only output broken links" to skip healthy links. Ideal for periodic site-health monitoring on a schedule.

Input

`startUrl`* string	The page to start crawling from.
`maxPages` integer	How many internal pages to scan for links.(default: 20)
`checkExternal` boolean	Also verify links pointing to other domains.(default: true)
`onlyBroken` boolean	Skip healthy links in the output (summary is always included).(default: false)
