📦 Pyarchiveit

Pyarchiveit is a Python library designed to interact with the Internet Archive's Archive-it API. It provides a simple interface to manage the seeds and collections within Archive-it accounts.

✨ Features

Create and update seeds with metadata validation
Retrieve seed lists with their metadata for single or multiple collections
Export seed data to CSV and XLSX formats

📥 Installation

You can install the library using pip:

pip install pyarchiveit

Or use uv if you have it installed:

uv add pyarchiveit

[!TIP] As a best practice (and since the project is under active development), you should pin the version of pyarchiveit when installing it, e.g. pip install pyarchiveit==0.1.0 or uv add pyarchiveit==0.1.0, to avoid unexpected issues from future updates.
