Error Showing in Simple Google Apps Script, How to hide












0















I have a simple Google Apps Script that checks URLs, however, I would like to display something like "Not valid" for any non-200 status responses. Everything I try shows "#ERROR!" on the Google Sheet except for status 200 responses.



Here is my code:



function check_url(url) {
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url)
if( response.getResponseCode() == 200 ) {
return true
} else if( response.getResponseCode() == 401 ) {
return "401"
} else {
return "Not Valid"
}
}


Any help is greatly appreciated as I am not very familiar with GA scripts or Javascript.



Thanks!

          This is a case where you need a try catch block. The fetch is throwing an error so there is no response.



          function check_url(url) {
          try {
          var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url)
          if( response.getResponseCode() == 200 ) {
          return true
          } else if( response.getResponseCode() == 401 ) {
          return "401"
          }
          }
          catch(err) {
          return "Not Valid"
          }
          }

            You should muteHTTPExceptions:



            var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url,{'muteHTTPExceptions':true})


            Also use arrays with fetchAll method, if you have a large number of urls to fetch.

            • I would love to use fetchAll as I have many, many URLs to check, but I can't figure out how to get all the URL list as an array. Sorry, I am just learning this stuff.
