This API can identify pages with dead links from Google Search Console / Google Webmaster Tools.
My suggestion is to automatically create reports for this, so that staff can check these pages.
There should be a maximum / throttle, so that it doesn't generate thousands of reports.
Optimally there would be a separate report queue.
Once the issue is corrected the moderator should be able to mark the dead link as fixed. This can then be automatically signalled to Google.

See: https://developers.google.com/webma...pi-original/v3/urlcrawlerrorssamples#resource
https://developers.google.com/webma...pi-original/v3/urlcrawlerrorssamples#resource
With the parameter urlDetails.linkedFromUrls[] you can fetch pages where the dead link resides.
After a moderator has checked the page, the method MarkedAsFixed can be used to let Google know the issue has been resolved:
