This directory contains a simple tool to check connectivity to a number of web sites.
The input file websites.txt should contain web site URLs, one per line.
The output file website_status.csv contains a two-column report with
the URL of each checked site and its status.
The script simply checks whether the web server returns a 200 status code.
The output file will be overwritten each time you run the tool.
This project uses the third-party library
requests
as well as the csv module from the Python standard library.
To run this script, type
python check_connectivity.py
in the directory where you have checked out these files. (If you have an IDE which lets you run Python files, and prefer to use that instead, make sure you configure it to set the working directory to the one which contains the input file.)
The CSV should perhaps contain a date stamp, too.
Perhaps add the logging library and optionally print progress information.
