Retrieve link checker results as CSV

Question

How to retrieve the results returned by LinkChecker to a file?

Answer

While Jahia does not provide a solution OOB to download the results, this can be easily retrieved from the action call.

The list is returned as a json by the action getLinkCheckingResults. To retrieve the list, when in the linkchecker page,

• Open developer tools and navigate to network tab.
• Click on 'start checking' in LinkChecker. You will see the calls to startLinkChecking action, followed by multiple calls to getLinkCheckingResults action.
• Once the check is done, click on the last getLinkCheckingResults action, and select the preview or response tab. It should contain the json output. You can copy this out to a text file.
