Wayback Machine
This project is an envelope for simple fetching of historical versions of page from archive.org API.
The page can be used for subsequent webscraping
Setup and usage
Install from pip with
pip install waybackmachine
Simple usage of the WaybackMachine class is as
import waybackmachine as wm
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19"
for version in wm.browse(url):
version.response # requests.Response
version.date # capture time
version.url # url
This will iterate the current version, followed by screenshots from archive.org. Avoid returning the current (live) version.
from datetime import datetime
for version in wm.browse(url, start=datetime.now()):
pass
You can specify a custom date range as follows.
for version in wm.browse(url, start=datetime(2020,6,30), end=datetime(2020,3,1)):
pass
