Build a URL monitoring tool for 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 anyone can spot broken references quickly. It has been useful for our internal wiki cleanup project. I plan to add email alerts next month so the tool can notify us when a monitored link starts failing during nightly runs. Step-by-step: 1. I provide the helper with a short list of documentation endpoints. 2. It performs a lightweight availability check for each URL. 3. It prints a summary table showing which references are working and which may be broken. 4. I use the results to clean up our internal wiki. 5. I plan to add email alerts for links that fail during nightly runs.
