webchk is a command-line tool developed in Python 3 for checking the HTTP status codes and response headers of URLs. It accepts one or more URLs as arguments. Furthermore, a sitemap URL can be passed using the -p option to download its content, extract the URLs and check their statuses.
webchk is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip with the following command::
$ pip install webchk
Webchk does not require any 3rd party packages to run. So it can also be cloned from GitHub and run as a module::
$ git clone https://github.com/amgedr/webchk.git
$ cd webchk
$ python3 -m webchk
::
webchk [-h] [-i INPUT] [-o OUTPUT] [-p] [-a] [-l] [-s] [-f] [-v] [urls [urls ...]]
positional arguments: urls
optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -i INPUT, --input INPUT Read input from a file -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT Save output to a file -p, --parse Follow links listed in .xml URLs -l, --list Print URLs without checking them -v, --version Print the version number
Examples
Check a list of URLs from a file (one URL per line)::
$ webchk -i urls.txt
Check the status of a sitemap file and all the URLs listed in it::
$ webchk -p http://example.com/sitemap.xml
List the URLs in a file without checking their HTTP status::
$ webchk -li urls.txt
Check the URLs in a file and .xml files in it::
$ webchk -pi urls.txt
List the URLs in a file and .xml files in it::
$ webchk -pli urls.txt
List the URLs in a sitemap without checking their status::
$ webchk -lp http://example.com/sitemap.xml
