Build a URL Monitoring Helper 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 we can quickly spot broken references. 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 provide the helper with a short list of documentation endpoints. 2. It performs a lightweight availability check for each URL. 3. It prints the results in a summary table. 4. I use the table to identify broken references before sharing links with the team. 5. I plan to add email alerts next month for links that fail during nightly runs.
