How this service works
Finds the closest archived snapshot of a public URL, like a Wayback Machine API. Given a URL and optional timestamp, returns the closest archived capture URL, archive timestamp, and optional cleaned archived page text for citation repair, reference rot fixes, due diligence, and provenance checks. Use it as a web archive lookup, historical webpage snapshot, or archived URL finder.
Output
Returns the closest archived capture URL from a web archive, the exact archive timestamp of that capture, and optionally the cleaned text content of the archived page suitable for citation repair, provenance documentation, or reference rot fixes.
Example use cases
Fix a broken citation link
“This research paper references https://old-news-site.com/2019/climate-report but the link is dead — can you find the closest archived snapshot to January 2019 and give me the archive URL I can use instead?”
Verify historical webpage claim
“I need to check what the homepage of https://company.com said back in December 2020 for due diligence purposes — can you pull the archived snapshot closest to that date and return the cleaned text?”
Recover deleted content for reference
“A blog post at https://techblog.io/posts/original-announcement has been taken down but I need to quote it in a report — please find the nearest archived version and show me the page text.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.agentutility.ai/archive-snapshotWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to look up a historical or archived version of a specific webpage — especially for citation repair, reference rot remediation, provenance verification, or due diligence on what a URL contained at a past date. Prefer over direct web scraping when the live page is dead, changed, or unavailable.
Side effects
- URL has never been archived — no snapshot found, returns null or error
- Requested timestamp is too recent or too old for any available archive
- Archived page text is empty or unparseable (e.g. heavily JavaScript-rendered)
- Invalid or malformed input URL
- Rate limits or payment failure via x402 protocol
