Answer 1

You could use a webscraper to gather all of the a tags and other links. Then parse the tags and collect the URLs in an array or something. Then send an HTTP request to each link. If the links don't either a 200 or 300 code, they're broken.

Answer 2

Konstantinos Kotsis I don't know how to write a webscraper. My guess is you'll have to download the page, split each element up into an array of sorts, and parse it like that. That's just a very basic one.
