About:
Waybackpy is a Python library and command-line tool that provides an interface to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It allows users to easily save web pages to the archive, retrieve archived snapshots, and explore the history of URLs programmatically. The tool simplifies interacting with the Wayback Machine's public API for automated archiving tasks.
Key Features:
  • Save web pages to the Wayback Machine via CLI or Python code
  • Retrieve archived URLs and timestamps
  • Check availability of a website in the archive
  • Get the most recent archive timestamp for a URL
Use Cases:
  • Automating the archiving of websites or blog posts for historical preservation
  • Verifying if a specific webpage existed at a past date
  • Building tools that require access to historical web data
Alternatives:
  • curl – Can manually interact with the API but lacks the dedicated wrapper and features of waybackpy
