Web archive
The archive tool reads the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, with Common Crawl as a second source. Every answer carries the capture date and a link to the capture.
| Action | What you get |
|---|---|
get | A page as it was on a date (at: 2023, 2023-06, 2023-06-15, an ISO time or 2 years ago), read like a live page. |
snapshots | Every capture, or only the captures where the content really changed (every: change). |
diff | What changed between a date and today, or two dates: lines, sections and fields when you pass a schema. |
history | A field or section across versions, for example every plan and its price since 2021. |
urls | Every address the archive holds for a site or path, with first and last capture; check_live lists the ones that are gone. |

- Only pages someone archived can be read.
- The Internet Archive limits heavy automated use. Skryp paces its requests and keeps captures it has read, so large jobs take longer rather than failing.
- When a capture is an empty JavaScript shell, Skryp rebuilds it in a browser from the archive's own copies of its scripts (2 credits).
