[Broken Links] Due to the passage of time, there are some broken links in our old files.

[MatthewJeffson]

Overview: There are some broken links in our old files.

• With the GitHub update, we experienced an invalid URL error due to the feature of URL.
• Along with checking we found that we had some wrong links in our old files. Hence, we need to update the page.

I assume we're referring to links within libraries, or does this relate to wiki & the seeedStudio website?

i.e.:

Correct URL:

• https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-v2-Grove.html?bazaar4_retailer-products%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bproduct_category%5D%5B0%5D=Sensor

Current URL:

• https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-v2-Grove-Sensors.html

@MatthewJeffson - if you have a list still to hand, I don't mind seeing what time I can allocate to this.

[MatthewJeffson]

@Dangerousfish Wow! Thank you so much for considering to fix this! And the broken links are refer to the "clicking 404 after the links", including, yeah, all the invalid libraries, invalid wiki and especially the Bazaar websites. Your example is absolutely right!
As for the list, I am running this GitHub Action: markdown url checking and I can see the list in the log(okay... the previouss log is disappear, I will run a new one).

These basically are the information here.

Best Regards,
Matthew

The new workflow is been done, and I have seen the latest broken url:

I will update the comment as well.

Hey @MatthewJeffson ,

Thank you for running the script again.

I have transformed the output of your script into the following spreadsheet, which should assist us with the completion of this task (or at the least, allow it to have the appearance of being less ominous).

Sorry it's taken me so long to follow-up on this one.

I'll be back at this, when I next find an opportunity.

Best Regards,

Note:
Approximately 12,000 broken URLs

@MatthewJeffson - A lot of these failures are returning HTTP Status 429 (Rate-Limited)

• Given the significant number of URL's to review and the apparent number that were blocked by API rate-limits I would recommend the Git Action to be re-run, with a longer delay between API queries, so that we might obtain a more realistic number to remedy.

Is there a sitemap anywhere that we can reference from, with valid URLs?

I'm happy to run a sniffer against SeeedStudio (with permission).

[MatthewJeffson]

Hello! @Dangerousfish Thank you so much for considering this! And yeah I think our website can be sniffed:D I will double check with the website manager.
Sorry for the long not reply, since I am on vacation haha.
Best Regards,
Matthew
