ValidLink

A simple Python library to check the validity of URLs.

Features

• Check the validity of a given URL.
• Automatically add missing schemes (e.g., http://).
• Handle URLs without common subdomains like www..
• Graceful error handling for various request exceptions.

Installation

pip install validlink

Usage

Basic Usage

from validlink import check_url_validity

url = "https://www.example.com"
is_valid = check_url_validity(url)
if is_valid:
    print(f"The URL {url} is valid.")
else:
    print(f"The URL {url} is not valid.")

Handling Different URL Formats

from validlink import check_url_validity

urls = [
    "example.com",
    "http://example.com",
    "https://example.com",
    "www.example.com",
    "example.com/test",
]

for url in urls:
    is_valid = check_url_validity(url)
    if is_valid:
        print(f"The URL {url} is valid.")
    else:
        print(f"The URL {url} is not valid.")

Extracting URLs from Messages

from validlink import find_urls_in_message, check_url_validity

messages = [
    "your message Eid code good https://www.example.com thank you god",
    "your message Eid code good example.com thank you god",
]

for message in messages:
    urls = find_urls_in_message(message)
    for url in urls:
        is_valid = check_url_validity(url)
        if is_valid:
            print(f"The URL {url} found in the message is valid.")
        else:
            print(f"The URL {url} found in the message is not valid.")

Checking URLs from User Input

from validlink import check_url_validity

url = input("Enter a URL to check: ")
is_valid = check_url_validity(url)
if is_valid:
    print(f"The URL {url} is valid.")
else:
    print(f"The URL {url} is not valid.")

Handling URLs in Web Scraping

import requests
from validlink import check_url_validity

# Assume urls_list contains a list of URLs obtained from web scraping
urls_list = ["https://www.example.com", "http://example.com", "www.example.com"]

for url in urls_list:
    is_valid = check_url_validity(url)
    if is_valid:
        print(f"The URL {url} is valid.")
    else:
        print(f"The URL {url} is not valid.")
