How to Scrape Bulk URL Status & Broken Link — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

If you need to pull Bulk URL Status & Broken Link data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the Bulk URL Status & Broken Link Checker, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Bulk URL Status & Broken Link login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

  • url
  • statusCode
  • statusMessage
  • isRedirect
  • redirectCount
  • finalUrl
  • responseTime
  • contentType
  • contentLength
  • isBroken
  • redirectChain
  • server
  • checkedAt

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.

Option 1 — No code (Apify Console)

  1. Open the actor: https://apify.com/logiover/bulk-url-status-checker
  2. Click Try for free.
  3. Leave the input empty for a broad sample, or set the fields below.
  4. Run it, then Export the dataset as CSV/JSON/Excel.

Option 2 — Node.js

npm install bulk-url-status-checker
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
const scrape = require("bulk-url-status-checker");

(async () => {
  const items = await scrape({}, { token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
  console.log(items.length, "results");
  console.log(items[0]);
})();
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
