Kakobuy Spreadsheet Ledger

Link form checker and normaliser

Spreadsheet rows get rewritten, re-tagged, and re-shared until you cannot tell what you are actually opening. This instrument reads the link structure and tells you what it is.

This instrument does not test whether a listing is still live. That would require a request to the marketplace, which this page deliberately does not make. It reads link structure and tracking parameters only.

Paste a link

Or start from an example:

What this link is

Paste a link to read its structure.

How to read the result

Using it

  1. Open the instrument above. It calculates with the defaults immediately, so there is nothing to set up before you see a result.
  2. Replace the defaults with your own figures. Each field names what it expects and which week its default was checked.
  3. Read the result panel. If a field falls outside its expected range, the page says so and pauses the calculation rather than returning a figure built on bad input.
  4. Use Reset to return every field to its default. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored after you leave the page, except the QC checklist, which stays in your browser.

Questions that come up

Why can the same product have three different links?

Because each agent wraps the same marketplace listing in its own format, and each sharer adds their own code. The underlying item ID is usually identical.

Does a clean link tell me whether the listing is still available?

No. Link form and listing availability are separate questions. This page answers only the first one.

What should I do with a rewritten link?

Use the extracted item ID to rebuild the link in the form your own agent expects. The notes below the result show the normalised form.
