gsc-500-checker

gsc-500-checker (Google Search Console 500 checker) is a Python script that helps you quickly check a list of URLs exported from Google Search Console for 500 errors. It takes a CSV input file with URLs, checks each URL for a 500 response, and generates an output CSV with the results.

Features

  • Checks the HTTP status of each URL in a CSV file.
  • Detects if a URL returns a 500 error.
  • Outputs a new CSV file with status codes and a flag indicating whether the URL is free from 500 errors.
  • Progress bar for real-time feedback during execution.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3 installed on your machine. You can download it from python.org.

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/bhhaskin/gsc-500-checker.git
cd gsc-500-checker

  2. (Optional) Set up a virtual environment using venv to manage your dependencies.

Using venv

To create and activate a virtual environment:

  • On Linux/macOS:

    python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

  • On Windows:

    python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

  1. Install the required dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. When you are done working with the project, you can deactivate the virtual environment by running:

    deactivate

Usage

  1. Prepare a CSV file named input_urls.csv with the following columns:

    • URL
    • Last crawled

    Example:

    URL Last crawled
    http://example.com/page1 2024-09-30
    http://example.com/page2 2024-09-29
    http://example.com/page3 2024-09-28

  2. Run the script:

    python main.py

By default, the script will check the URLs in input_urls.csv and output the results in output_results.csv.

Example

Output CSV (output_results.csv):

URL Status Code Not 500
http://example.com/page1 200 True
http://example.com/page2 500 False
http://example.com/page3 200 True
