waybackpy VS wayback

I ended up using waybackpy python module to retrieve archived URLs, it worked well. I think the feature you want for this is the "snapshots", but I didn't test this myself

I have read it as someone told me that it has a section for using waybackpy, a tool/library that I wrote and maintain.

import requests from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path from waybackpy import WaybackMachineSaveAPI #https://github.com/akamhy/waybackpy ARCHIVE = False LOCAL_SAVE = True #https://www.cmegroup.com/clearing/operations-and-deliveries/nymex-delivery-notices.html urls = [ #COMEX & NYMEX Metal Delivery Notices "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/MetalsIssuesAndStopsReport.pdf", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/MetalsIssuesAndStopsMTDReport.pdf", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/MetalsIssuesAndStopsYTDReport.pdf", #NYMEX Energy Delivery Notice "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/EnergiesIssuesAndStopsReport.pdf", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/EnergiesIssuesAndStopsYTDReport.pdf", #Warehouse & Depository Stocks "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Gold_Stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Gold_Kilo_Stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Silver_stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Copper_Stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/PA-PL_Stck_Rprt.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Aluminum_Stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Zinc_Stocks.xls", "https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Lead_Stocks.xls" ] user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.5112.79 Safari/537.36' #required for both wayback and cmegroup.com headers = {'User-Agent': user_agent} #present yourself as an updated Chrome browser if ARCHIVE: for url in urls: filename = url.split("/")[-1] print(f"Archiving {filename} on Wayback Machine...") save_api = WaybackMachineSaveAPI(url, user_agent) #limited to 15 requests / minute / IP. My VPN IP was already throttled :( Couldn't even get this to work with normal IP. Returned 429 error.... res = save_api.save() print(f"Res: {res}") if LOCAL_SAVE: datestr = datetime.now().strftime('%m-%d-%Y') datedir = Path(datestr) datedir.mkdir(exist_ok=True) for url in urls: filename = url.split("/")[-1] print(f"Fetching {filename}...") try: resp = requests.get(url, timeout=3, allow_redirects=True, headers=headers) if resp.ok: filepath = datedir / filename if not filepath.exists(): with open(filepath, mode="wb") as f: f.write(resp.content) else: print(f"ERROR: Filepath already exists: {filepath}") else: print(f"ERROR: response for {filename}: {resp}") except requests.ReadTimeout: print("timeout")

I wish there was an alternative to the Internet Archive with collaborative curation. You share files and people who tag and sort them into albums can download them. And if it was federated it could be just as extensive as the Internet Archive by searching files on many instances at the same time. Sadly the closest thing are ArchiveBox and wayback which won't replace the Internet Archive.

There's also wayback for remote and local archiving https://github.com/wabarc/wayback

Web archiving just got more convenient! Wayback now supports XMPP. This means you can receive archived web pages via XMPP messages, making it even easier to access historical versions of web pages. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
