waybackarchive

A module that archives any page to web.archive.org

Based on the code from https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/5j3sb7/using_wayback_machines_wayback_save_function/, but modified to work with pages that are already saved and some other stuff added.

Installing

npm install waybackarchive

Usage

let archive = require('waybackarchive');
let url = "https://www.npmjs.com/package/waybackarchive";
 
archive(url, {
    attempts: 5, //Number of intervals to check. Default: 10
    interval: 2500 //Gap between checks in milliseconds. Default: 5000
}).then((archived_url) => console.log('Success! Archived at: ' + archived_url))
.catch(err => console.log(err))

You can only save the same page once every hour or so, so be aware of that when using this module.

Saves the page using the request module. Uses the wayback-machine module to check at each interval if the page has been saved.
