# Slow link checker is slow
Single-thread, scripty Python crawls a website and prints a YAML report of broken links. This program is mostly for educational purposes. There's a [multithreaded version here](https://github.com/victoriadrake/hydra-link-checker).
## Usage
Run in a terminal:
```sh
python find_broken.py [URL]
```
Ensure `URL` is an absolute url including schema, i.e. `https://example.com`.
The report will be [YAML](https://yaml.org/) formatted. To save the output to a file, run:
```sh
python find_broken.py [URL] > [PATH/TO/FILE.yaml]
```
You can add the current date to the filename using a command substitution, such as:
```sh
python find_broken.py [URL] > /path/to/$(date '+%Y_%m_%d')_report.yaml
```
To see how long the program takes to check your site, add `time`:
```sh
time python find_broken.py [URL]
```
