Internet Archive Scraper
Searches the Internet Archive catalog (books, texts, audio, video, software) and fetches item metadata. Returns identifiers, titles, creators, download counts, and item URLs.
No API key required.
Modes
- search — catalog query with optional media-type filter
- metadata — full metadata for one identifier
Input
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | dune | Catalog search term |
rows | integer | 20 | Max results |
mediatype | select | `` | texts/audio/video/software/image |
identifier | string | — | For metadata mode |
Example input
Output
Structured JSON pushed to the run's dataset — one object per result. Errors (invalid input, API failures, empty results) are returned as structured error objects instead of failing the run.
Use cases
- Digital library research
- Book discovery tools
- Archive & preservation work
- Media catalogs
Cost
Pay-per-result: $0.001 per result item (volume discounts available). Free to try — runs are billed only for results produced.
