Push website manually to the WayBackMachine from archive.org


Is there a way to upload or trigger a snapshot of the own website to the WayBackMachine from archive.org? I've checked the FAQ and the archive.org API, but can't find any way to trigger this with a script.


Solution

  • It seems that if you can trigger a call to http://web.archive.org/save/{{URL}} it will unofficially force-save the page. This seems to be a bit of a hack rather than an official approach.
