Build a URL Monitoring Helper to Find Broken Documentation Links
I built a small URL monitoring helper that checks whether documentation links resolve correctly before I share them with the team. The tool reads a short list of endpoints, performs a lightweight availability check, and prints a summary table so we can spot broken references quickly. It has been useful for our internal wiki cleanup project. I plan to add email alerts next month when a monitored link starts failing during nightly runs. Step-by-step: 1. I add a short list of documentation endpoints to the URL monitoring helper. 2. The tool performs a lightweight availability check for each endpoint. 3. It prints a summary table showing which links resolve correctly. 4. I use the table to identify broken references during our internal wiki cleanup project. 5. I plan to add email alerts next month for links that fail during nightly runs.
