Check for Broken Links on Your Website Using a Postman Collection
Blog post from Postman
Refreshing the online documentation for the Postman app involves creating a Postman Collection to automate link checking across the website, using two primary requests. The initial request sets environment variables, including an array for links, and starts the page crawling process. The subsequent request scrapes HTML to collect and check links on each page, looping until the entire site is covered. This process demonstrates Postman's capabilities in HTML scraping and workflow management through branching and looping, facilitated by the Cheerio library and the setNextRequest() method, which allows for automated and non-linear execution of tasks. Users can import a sample collection and environment template to their Postman app to customize link checking for their own websites, with options to monitor the process using the Postman Console. This approach is analogous to using Postman with Hypermedia APIs, where responses guide the navigation of links without predefined specifications.
