**Linkinator** is a powerful broken link checker that crawls websites and validates all links automatically. Whether you're checking a live website, local HTML files, or markdown documentation, this link checker tool will find broken links, dead links, and invalid URLs quickly and efficiently.
This link validator is perfect for SEO audits, quality assurance, continuous integration, and maintaining healthy websites. The `linkinator` broken link checker provides both an API and CLI for crawling websites and validating links. It's got a ton of sweet features:
- 🔥 Easily perform scans on remote sites or local files
- 🔥 Scan any element that includes links, not just `<a href>`
- 🔥 Supports redirects, absolute links, relative links, all the things
- 🔥 Configure specific regex patterns to skip
- 🔥 Scan markdown files without transpilation
## Installation
### Node.js / npm
```sh
npm install linkinator
```
### Standalone Binaries (no Node.js required)
Don't have Node.js installed? No problem! Browse all releases at [github.com/JustinBeckwith/linkinator/releases](https://github.com/JustinBeckwith/linkinator/releases).
These binaries are completely standalone - no runtime dependencies needed. Just download, make executable (Linux/macOS), and run!
### Docker Usage
Run `linkinator` using Docker with the same commands as the CLI. The image is available on GitHub Container Registry at ghcr.io/justinbeckwith/linkinator.
**Basic Usage:**
```sh
docker run ghcr.io/justinbeckwith/linkinator LOCATION [ --arguments ]
```
For reproducible builds, pin to a specific version:
```sh
docker run ghcr.io/justinbeckwith/linkinator:3.4.0 LOCATION [ --arguments ]
```
**Examples:**
Check a live website:
```sh
docker run ghcr.io/justinbeckwith/linkinator https://jbeckwith.com
```
Check local files in your current directory (mount your directory as a volume):
```sh
docker run -v "$(pwd)":/usr/src/app -w /usr/src/app ghcr.io/justinbeckwith/linkinator . --recurse
```
This command mounts your current directory (`$(pwd)`) to `/usr/src/app` inside the container and sets it as the working directory. Then, `linkinator` scans the `.` directory within the container, recursively.
## Command Usage
You can use this as a library, or as a CLI. Let's see the CLI!

$ linkinator LOCATIONS [ --arguments ]

Would you bet a product on this? Bounded 0–100 and slow moving.
