Scraping Data From Past: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
In this tutorial, we will explore how to scrape data from the past using the Wayback Machine API. We'll be using Python and the requests library to make HTTP requests and retrieve archived versions of web pages. The code provided demonstrates a basic implementation of scraping historical data from a list of URLs within a specified date range.

Subdomain * wildcard search
A bit of context: I do a lot of archive digging with Apple's website. For the longest time, they hosted large files through Akamai. Most URLs looked something like this: http://a2032.g.akamai.net/5/2032/51/6cafb32dc21f74/1a1a1aaa2198c627970773d80669d84574a8d80d3cb12453c02589f25382f26493036bda4ebd305fd241a71b92f365ca/appleworks62_box.eps.hqx Unfortunately, those files shifted around from subdomain to subdomain (one period of time it was under a2032.g.akamai.net, another might be a1008.g.akamai.net) so finding all copies of a specific file was a pain in the ass. I recently learned that the IA has an API for the Wayback's Server that allows way more filtering than the web UI does. So to find every *.g.akamai.net URL they have archived, I used: http://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=*.g.akamai.net/*

Managed to work with the Waybackmachine-API to get a backup of a much loved site
For the following step, you will need the Wayback Machine's CDX API, the documentation is here:https://github.com/internetarchive/wayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-serverHowever, please note that there are errors in the documentation regarding the regex filtering syntax.

Take More Screenshots
archive.org geocities scrapes go back to 1996, so it is plausible it could have survived:
https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=geocities.com&mat...
If you ever remember any of the details, the CDX API can probably help.

- Is there any way to go further into results for pages with more than 10,000 captures?

Possible to download a file from archive.org?
Are the contents of these WARCs available as part of the Wayback Machine itself? If so, you might be able to use the CDX server to discover and download the content.

Two projects I greatly appreciate, allowing me to easily archive my bandcamp and GOG purchases (after the initial setup anyways):
https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader
https://github.com/Kalanyr/gogrepoc
And I recently learned about archivebox, which I think is going to be a fast favorite and finally let me clear out my mess of tabs/bookmarks: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox

An Introduction to the WARC File
API is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496
I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app sotre), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.
