About:
The internetarchive package is a robust Python wrapper designed to interact with the comprehensive Internet Archive APIs. It enables developers to programmatically upload, search, modify, and download files from the vast digital library. This tool is essential for automating interactions with the Wayback Machine and Archive.org collections.
Key Features:
  • Full API Coverage: Supports uploading, downloading, searching, and metadata modification.
  • CLI Integration: Includes a powerful command-line interface for direct interaction.
  • Asynchronous Support: Capable of handling large data transfers efficiently.
  • Robust Error Handling: Manages API rate limits and connection issues gracefully.
Use Cases:
  • Automating the upload of datasets or website backups to Archive.org.
  • Querying the Wayback Machine for historical snapshots of web pages programmatically.
  • Building archival tools or research scripts that leverage the Internet Archive's data.
Alternatives:
  • curl/wget – Basic HTTP tools that lack specific support for IA's complex metadata and API features.
  • ArchiveBot – A different tool focused on IRC-based archiving rather than Pythonic API interaction.
