The Wayback Machine Scraper endpoint returns snapshots of web pages, archived URLs of a domain, domain history, and page content formatted as Markdown. Each response includes metadata such as timestamps, status codes, and MIME types.
Key fields in the response include `url`, `timestamp`, `capturedAt`, `statusCode`, `mimeType`, `digest`, `sizeBytes`, `archiveUrl`, and `rawUrl`. These fields provide essential information about each archived snapshot.
The response data is structured in JSON format, containing a `count` of results and an `items` array. Each item in the array represents an archived snapshot with detailed metadata, making it easy to parse and utilize.
The endpoint provides information on archived web pages, including their URLs, capture dates, status codes, and content size. It also offers domain history and the ability to retrieve page text as Markdown.
Users can customize requests using optional parameters such as `mode`, `urls`, `dateFrom`, `dateTo`, and `mimeType`. For example, specifying `mode=history` retrieves a summary of a domain's capture history.
Typical use cases include web archiving, historical research, content analysis, and monitoring changes to websites over time. Users can analyze how a website has evolved or retrieve specific content from past snapshots.
Users can utilize the returned data by parsing the JSON response to extract relevant fields. For instance, they can analyze the `capturedAt` date to track changes or use the `archiveUrl` to access specific snapshots directly.
Users can expect data patterns such as multiple snapshots for popular domains, with varying `statusCode` values indicating successful or failed captures. The `timestamp` field will show a chronological order of captures, allowing for trend analysis.
