FAQ

How far back can I check?

Internet Archive has snapshots back to 1996. Coverage depends on whether a URL was crawled.

Why is my URL 'not available'?

Either it was never archived, or Internet Archive excluded it (due to robots.txt or removal request).

Is this the same as running curl to archive.org?

Yes, but with bulk processing, error handling, and structured output for datasets.

Can I archive new URLs?

This actor only reads from the archive. To save NEW pages, use archive.org's /save/ endpoint.
