yawbdl 1.0.0

A tool to download pages from Internet Archive.

Yet Another WayBack DownLoader

YAWBDL is a tool to download archived pages from Internet Archive, which I wrote because none of other tools worked good enough (or at all) in my use cases.

Usage

pipx install yawbdl

yawbdl
usage: yawbdl [-h] [-d DOMAIN] [-o DST_DIR] [--from FROM_DATE] [--to TO_DATE]
              [--timeout TIMEOUT] [-n] [--delay DELAY] [--retries RETRIES]
              [--no-fail]
              [--skip-timestamps SKIP_TIMESTAMPS [SKIP_TIMESTAMPS ...]]
