How this service works
817 pay-per-call APIs for AI agents. Every endpoint is POST /<name> and is payable in USDC over x402 on Base and Solana — no signup, no API key, just pay-per-call. GET https://x402.agentutility.ai/ returns the same catalog as machine-readable JSON.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the Wayback Machine snapshot URL (snapshot_url) pointing to the archived version of the page, and an ISO 8601 timestamp (snapshot_iso_timestamp) indicating when the snapshot was captured. If fetch_text was set to true, also returns the cleaned text content of the archived page.
Example use cases
Recover deleted company page
“The official press release at https://acme.com/press/2019-launch was taken down. Can you find the most recent Wayback Machine snapshot of that URL and return its text so I can read what it said?”
Verify historical website claim
“Someone claims that https://techcrunch.com/2018/03/01/article-name/ said something specific on March 1, 2018. Can you pull the archived snapshot from that date so I can verify?”
Research website change over time
“What was the content of https://openai.com/ on December 1, 2022? Please fetch the archived snapshot text from the Wayback Machine for that date.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.agentutility.ai/archive-url?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve a historical or archived version of a specific public URL via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It is ideal when the live page has changed, been deleted, or you need to verify what content appeared at a specific point in time. Prefer this over live web scraping when historical accuracy matters or when the current page no longer reflects past content.
Side effects
- URL has never been crawled by the Wayback Machine — returns no snapshot found
- Requested timestamp predates any available archive — falls back to nearest capture or returns error
- URL is blocked from Wayback Machine by robots.txt exclusion
- Source page exceeds 10MB cap when fetch_text is true — text may be truncated
- Malformed or non-public URL input results in a validation error
- Wayback Machine availability outage causes timeout or service error
