Paste a list of domains and get, for each one, its archive history from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine: when the website first appeared, when it was last captured, how old it is, in which years it was active, gap years (dropped / parked periods) and links to one snapshot per year.
Uses the Internet Archive's public Availability API and CDX API - no login, no browser, no scraping of archived pages.
Who it's for
- SEO & expired-domain buyers: check domain age and continuous history before buying; gap years often mean the domain dropped and was re-registered.
- Due diligence / investors / M&A: how long has this company really had a website?
- Sales & lead scoring: older websites usually mean established businesses - add
ageYearsto your lead list. - Fraud & trust checks: brand-new websites that claim "20 years in business".
Input
{ "domains": ["apify.com", "python.org", "stripe.com"], "includeYearlySnapshots": true, "onlySuccessfulCaptures": true }
Output (one row per domain)
{"domain": "apify.com","status": "ok","firstSnapshot": "2007-05-31T10:15:38+00:00","firstSnapshotUrl": "https://web.archive.org/web/20070531101538/apify.com","lastSnapshot": "2026-10-16T13:32:56+00:00","ageYears": 19.4,"daysSinceLastSnapshot": 5,"monthsWithCaptures": 125,"yearsWithCaptures": 18,"activeYears": ["2007", "2008", "2015", "..."],"gapYears": ["2009", "2010"],"capturesByYear": { "2007": 3, "2008": 1, "2011": 3, "2025": 12 },"yearlySnapshotUrls": { "2007": "https://web.archive.org/web/2007.../apify.com" },"historyComplete": true}
capturesByYear counts months with at least one capture of the homepage per year. If the Internet Archive's CDX API is temporarily overloaded, you still get first/last snapshot and age, and historyComplete is false.
Domains never archived get a free never-archived row.
Pricing (pay per event)
- $0.003 per domain with history (
domain-history) - $3 per 1,000 domains. - Tiny start fee per run (
apify-actor-start). - Never-archived domains and errors are free. Use "Maximum cost per run" to cap spend.
Notes
- "Age" = age of the first Wayback capture, a good proxy for website age (registration date can be checked with our Bulk Domain WHOIS / RDAP Actor).
