# linkstat

CLI implementation of httpreserve that can test links and retrieve Internet
Archive replacements. The tool can output the result of individual links, or
take a CSV list to output collected information in JSON, BoltDB, or CSV format.

## Usage
```bash
Usage of ./linkstat:
  -bolt
    	output to static BoltDB.
  -csv
    	output to CSV.
  -fname string
    	annotate a response with a filename
  -json
    	output to JSON.
  -link string
    	seek the status of a single URL: JSON
  -list string
    	provide a list of URLs to test against in CSV format.
  -save
    	save the link we're querying
  -v	return application versions
  -version

```

## Examples

### Example combining tikalinkextract

* [tikalinkextract][httpreserve-1]

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][httpreserve-2]

[httpreserve-1]: https://github.com/httpreserve/tikalinkextract
[httpreserve-2]: https://github.com/httpreserve/million-dollar-webpage

### CSV input

An input CSV `example.csv` might look as follows:
```csv
"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:

```bash
$ ./linkstat -csv --list example.csv > output.csv
```

And the output looks as follows:

```csv
"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"
