The Broken Link Detector API is a service designed to identify and report dead links and redirects within website URLs. Its primary purpose is to help users maintain a healthy and functional web presence.

The API analyzes the URLs provided and follows redirection paths, checking the HTTP response codes to identify redirects and broken links. It then returns detailed data about each link, including its status.

The API provides essential data such as the URL's HTTP response code, the number of redirects (if any), the redirection path, and the final destination URL. This information is valuable for diagnosing and resolving issues.

The API primarily checks links within the provided website URLs. However, if external links are present on your website, the API can check them if they are reachable via the website's URLs.

The frequency of checks depends on your website's update frequency and content changes. Regular checks, such as daily or weekly scans, are recommended to maintain a healthy website.
