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 ageYears to 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).
  • The Internet Archive is a non-profit; please keep concurrency low. Not affiliated with the Internet Archive.
