Link Scraper API

Link Scraper is a website link extractor API that pulls internal and external links from any webpage URL in real time. It resolves relative paths to absolute URLs, strips empty fragments, and returns anchor text with internal and external counts.

The Link Scraper API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate link scraper functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready link scraper capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
