  • WARC'in the Crawler

    If anyone's interested in web crawling technology, check out Heretrix [1], been around since 2004 and while not the most performant it has incorporated many responsible disciplines in the design and as this article pointed out, WARC format.

    I've considered running my own IA (https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3), which only archives my chrome history, which is stored in a local sqlite db.

    I haven't had the time to figure out the details of how the pieces should be glued together.

  • Is there a way to archive groups of webpages similarly to how web archive does it?

    You can go all the way and use the same tools as the Internet Archive: https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3

    By the way, the technical side of this is very interesting. If you look at the tools mentioned (the wayback machine, but also perma.cc and other archival solutions), almost all of them rely on a single semi-modern tech stack that produces WARCs (web archives - ISO - ISO 28500:2017 https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/wa...).

    The main crawler still seems to be heritrix3 (https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3), but there's a great little ecosystem with tools such as webrecorder and warcprox.

    Still, I've read through the code of these tools and am feeling that they are failing in the face of the modern web with single page apps, mobile phone apps and walled gardens. Even newer iterations with browser automation are getting increasingly throttled and blocked and excluded from walled gardens.

    Perhaps the time has come for a coordinated, decentralized but omnipresent approach to archival.
