  • Hi. Instagram fails to archive. Presumably due to their content protection. Example: q4pkK.

    Instagram engineers were faster than me in fixing this bug :)
    Now must be ok.

  • We love using archive today to create snapshots of comments in blogs like Livejournal. One of archive today's better features is when it unspools or expands all the comments so that you can capture an entire discussion. Would it be possible to do this for Dreamwidth, a blogging platform that uses much the same code as Livejournal?

    OK.
    It must work now.

  • Can I archive pages from a password-protected blog?
    Anonymous

    No :(
    But www.peeep.us can do it.

  • Hi, I know you use phantomjs to download an website, but how ? What command do you use ? Can you give me a sample generated .js file ? Please ! :) . When we download a website, we see all the request, how do you echo that ? Thanks

    Something like:
    ====
    page.onResourceRequested = function (res) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res));
    }
    page.onResourceReceived = function (res) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res));
    }

  • Is there a way to see a log of the requests and redirects used to get the page?

    No, it is not stored.

  • I have archived a page, and would like to archive it again since the content has changed. Will the new archive override the original one, or will two separate snapshots exist?
    Anonymous

    Two separate snapshots will exist.

  • I accidentally created an archive today page, thinking it was a live site, and tried to key-in my login and password (which show as asterisks). Of course, it did nothing. Do I need to worry about the security of my login information? (by the way, I can't find the archive today page that I think I created - so this may be a non-issue)

    Form submission is disabled in the snapshots and all scripts are removed.
    It is safe to enter information in the fields, nothing could be sent to the Internet.

  • Some years ago I wrote about twenty articles about electronics in knol. This plataform later dissapeared, and now I'm posting the articls to a new place, which is "max-iskram" in an openshift server. I found the old refrences in archive today, and I would like to fix the addresses in order to redirect to the new site. Is that possible?

    I do not like the redirect idea, it would not comply with the idea of archiving snapshots of old pages.
    It seems that the problem is that the snapshots of your old pages are shown in Google and your pages in new place do not?
    I submitted request to Google to remove the snapshots from the index, it should help your new pages to appear there.

  • What do you think about the discussion currently on the Administrators' Noticeboard at the English Wikipedia? These people are making baseless claims and allegations against you, without any firm evidence. Some of these people are not allowing anybody to use links to your site on Wikipedia.

    I think archive.is better fits needs of small amateur wikis and forums than big players like Wikipedia or Stack Overflow.
    Wikipedia could buy an enterprise archiving service (e.g. pagefreezer) for 50-150k$/year. It is only 0.1-0.3% of their annual expenditures.
    I cannot provide higher level of uptime and support, even for money.

  • Hello Archive, could you provide an option to spoof the Archive Robot user-agent? I would like to archive the mobile version of some websites but I can't get it with the current mechanism. Thank you.
    Anonymous

    It is not easy, PhantomJS allows to spoof User-Agent only for the request of the main page, not for the images and AJAX requests :( So you may get something weird instead of the mobile version.
