Link Extractor

Link Extractor

The Link Extractor is a powerful utility designed for SEO specialists, web developers, and researchers. It allows you to extract all hyperlinks (href attributes) from a live webpage, a raw HTML snippet, or an uploaded file. This tool simplifies tasks like auditing internal and external links, analyzing competitor link structures, and collecting URLs for data analysis.

How It Works

The tool provides three convenient ways to input your source content:

1. Fetch from URL: Enter a live webpage URL. The tool's backend service will fetch the HTML content, bypassing common cross-origin (CORS) issues, and send it back for processing.
2. Paste HTML/Text: Directly paste raw HTML, markdown, or any text containing links into the input area for instant local parsing.
3. Upload File: Upload local .html, .txt, or .md files to extract links from their content.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Extraction: Captures all href attributes from anchor <a> tags.
• URL Resolution: Automatically converts relative URLs (e.g., /about) into absolute URLs (e.g., https://example.com/about) when a base URL is provided.
• Advanced Filtering:
  • Scope: Isolate internal, external, or all links.
  • Uniqueness: De-duplicate the results to get a clean list of unique URLs. You can even ignore query parameters and fragments (#) for a broader uniqueness check.
• Flexible Output:
  • Format the output as full URLs, just the domains, or only the paths.
  • Choose whether to include or strip the protocol (http:// or https://).
  • Sort the results alphabetically for easy analysis.
• Quick Stats: Instantly see the total number of links found and the count of unique links based on your settings.
• Export Options: Copy the entire list of extracted links to your clipboard or download it as a .txt, .csv, or .json file for further use.

Use Cases

• SEO Auditing: Quickly get a list of all outbound and inbound links on a page to check for consistency and strategy.
• Competitor Analysis: Analyze the external linking patterns of a competitor's website.
• Development & Debugging: Verify that all navigation links on a page are correct during development.
• Data Collection: Gather lists of URLs from web content for research or data scraping projects.
• Content Verification: Ensure all hyperlinks in an article or blog post are correct before publishing.
