Research Link Checkers

Check against the metadata URL. Might be good to include the last time it was run. Could also run daily on just one random link per collection, in case there was a change on an entire collection. Gem? Standalone script or web app?

URL fields to check:

edm_is_shown_at edm_is_shown_by holding_institution.homepage_url
iif_manifest

To get the response code just using Ruby:

Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse("https://cnn.com")).code

awesome_bot:

AwesomeBot.check "https://cnn.com"
