Wayback Machine Scraper - Archived Snapshots & URL Finder

List every Internet Archive (archive.org) Wayback Machine capture of a page, a folder or a whole domain: capture date, HTTP status, MIME type, content hash and a direct link to the archived page. Uses the official Wayback CDX API - no login, no proxy, no browser.

Use cases

SEO and site migrations: find old URLs that had traffic and need a redirect (matchType: host, collapse: urlkey).
Content history: see when a page changed (collapse: digest keeps only captures with new content).
Link reclamation and expired domains: check what a domain used to host.
Legal and research evidence: dated proof of what a page showed.
Competitor research: how pricing or landing pages evolved.

Input example

{
  "urls": ["apify.com", "https://example.com/pricing"],
  "matchType": "exact",
  "collapse": "year",
  "from": "2018",
  "statusCodes": [200],
  "maxSnapshotsPerUrl": 50
}

matchType: exact URL, prefix (everything under a path), host, or domain (with subdomains).
collapse: year, month, day, hour, urlkey (unique URLs) or digest (only when content changed).

Output sample

{
  "input": "apify.com",
  "timestamp": "20230115120000",
  "capturedAt": "2023-01-15T12:00:00Z",
  "originalUrl": "https://apify.com/",
  "mimeType": "text/html",
  "statusCode": "200",
  "digest": "ABC123...",
  "length": 15234,
  "archiveUrl": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230115120000/https://apify.com/"
}

(values are illustrative; field names are exact)

Limits

It lists captures; it does not download the archived page content.
Default cap is 1,000 rows per input (maxSnapshotsPerUrl); raise it for big domains.
archive.org rate-limits heavy use; the Actor waits and retries politely. Very large domains can take a while.
