List every capture the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine holds for a URL, or find the capture closest to a date, using the Archive's public CDX Server and CDX closest searchs. Results are ready-to-open snapshot links plus metadata.
Modes
- snapshots: all captures of a URL (or everything under a path, host or domain), with timestamp, HTTP status, MIME type, content digest, size, a snapshot link and a raw-content link (
id_, no Wayback banner). Filter by date range, status code and MIME type. - closest: for each URL and date, the capture nearest to that date.
Typical uses
- Prove what a page said on a given date (compliance, evidence, journalism, legal-adjacent research).
- Find when a page changed: collapse by
digestto get one row per distinct version. - Recover lost pages or discover old URLs of a domain (
matchType: domain). - Build a monthly or yearly timeline of a site with one capture per period.
Input example
{ "mode": "snapshots", "urls": ["example.com"], "fromDate": "2018-01-01", "collapse": "timestamp:6", "statusCodes": ["200"] }
Pricing
Pay per result: $0.001 per snapshot row. 1,000 snapshots cost $1.
Notes
- The Actor paces its requests to respect archive.org rate limits, so very large pulls take time.
- It lists captures and links; it does not download page content.
