Links and link health

Every link buyers can open is checked: spot links and map pills, place websites and booking pages, route sources, the source links of statuses, fees and hours, and area links. New links are checked shortly after a write, and every link is checked again about weekly.

Check and read

check_links queues checks for links never checked or not checked in a day. Pass urls for exactly those links (at most 40), or all: true for every link. It is limited to 12 calls per guide per hour.
A minute or two later, get_link_report returns every link with its state and where it is used.

The states

State	Means	Do
`ok`	The page answered.	Nothing.
`redirected`	It ends on another domain.	Check where it lands; update the link.
`unverifiable`	The site turns scripts away (a bot wall, 403, 429, a timeout). Not an error.	Open it in a real browser; confirm it with set_link_verified.
`broken`	No DNS, refused, 404.	Replace or remove it.
`suspicious`	Parked, suspended, gambling spam or a soft 404.	Replace it.
`tls`	A certificate problem.	Replace it or ask the site's owner.
`unchecked`	Not checked yet.	Wait, or check_links.

flagged is true for broken, suspicious, tls and redirected links nobody confirmed by hand. Readiness and get_publish_status warn about flagged links; they never block a publish.

Confirming by hand

Official sites often wall off scripts. After the creator (or you, in a real browser) opened the page, set_link_verified records the day and how; readiness stops flagging it for 180 days. clear: true removes the record.
