Three modes, mix them freely in one run

Give it	You get (one row each)
`searchQuery` (+ optional `mediatype`)	matching items: identifier, title, creator, date, media type, downloads, reviews, size, collection, details/metadata URLs
`identifiers` (item ids)	full item metadata: title, media type, collection, license, file count, total bytes, hosting server, all metadata fields, download directory
`snapshotUrls` (URLs)	Wayback captures (deduplicated by content digest): timestamp, ISO capture time, archived URL, HTTP status, MIME type, digest, byte length

Input

{
  "searchQuery": "grateful dead 1977",
  "mediatype": "etree",
  "identifiers": ["nasa"],
  "snapshotUrls": ["nasa.gov"],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "snapshotsPerUrl": 200,
  "fromYear": 2015,
  "toYear": 2024
}

Provide any one of searchQuery, identifiers, or snapshotUrls (or several). Each output row carries a type of item, metadata, or snapshot.

Use cases

Build a dataset of everything the archive holds on a topic, creator, or collection.
Recover the full capture history of a page for research, journalism, evidence, or SEO change-tracking.
Enumerate an item's files and sizes before downloading.
Feed archival data into an AI agent, notebook, or dashboard on a schedule.

Notes

Uses only archive.org's public read-only endpoints: advancedsearch, the metadata API, and the Wayback CDX API.
Search supports Lucene-style queries (title:(...), creator:(...), collection:(...)), sorted by downloads.
Snapshots are deduplicated by content digest so you get distinct versions, not every identical recrawl.
Every row carries a fetched_at UTC timestamp.
