Would such an API be useful for you? What features should it have? Would you pay for it? And how much?
Thank you for your opinions and time.
I guess it's a question of whether you can provide a service that is good value for money (i.e. it saves time), when I can already whip some tests together relatively quickly during development of my API.
That sounds more useful... but it's also something that most developers could probably build for themselves in a few minutes?
1. Grab page 2. Parse and find links 3. Make a request to each link 4. Return any links that are returning 4xx or 5xx.
Maybe there's a use for it where people want to test a particularly large set of pages/links making use of a data center's typically superior connection? shrug
Plus it would check not only links but also images, stylesheets, scripts, submitting forms - something like a 'website testing platform'.
It needs to not only check links, but also * Check 301 redirects and such * Check spelling if possible * Probably the thing they'd pay for the most: a solid scan of WCAG AA or other standard with respect to section 508
