I would use something like this:
*import requests*
class IS_VERIFIED_URL(object):
def __init__(self, error_message="url does not exist!"):
self.error_message = error_message
def __call__(self, url):
error = None
*response = requests.get(url)*
if *response.status_code != 200*:
error = self.error_message
return (url, error)
So in FORM, MODEL or SQLFORM
<db.table|INPUT>.requires = IS_VERIFIED_URL()
