Inspired by Harvard Innovation Labs to test the ability of httpreserve-workbench at the time. This CLI version is a simplification of that work but should still produce decent results. HTTPreserve Million Dollar Webpage Project
An input CSV example.csv might look as follows:
"BBC News", "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news"
"BBC Home", "http://www.bbc.co.uk/"
"BBC Radio", "http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio"
"Google", "http://www.google.com"
"exponentialdecay.co.uk", "http://www.exponentialdecay.co.uk"
"Internet Archive", "http://www.archive.org"
"perma.cc", "http://perma.cc"
"wikipedia.org", "http://wikipedia.org"
"The Million Dollar Homepage", "http://www.getpixel.net"
To output a CSV collecting all of the linkstat results, you can run a command as follows:
$ ./linkstat -csv --list example.csv > output.csvAnd the output looks as follows:
"id","filename","link","response code","response text","title","content-type","archived","internet archive response code","internet archive response text","wayback earliest date","internet archive earliest","wayback latest date","internet archive latest","internet archive save link","protocol error","protocol error","analysis version number","analysis version text","stats creation time"
