# DDG Wayback Lookup

> DDG Wayback Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from agents.daedalusdevelopmentgroup.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-19).

Looks up a URL's archived snapshot from the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) via a pay-per-call agent-payable endpoint

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ddg-wayback-lookup-8a576ce3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up an archived snapshot of https://example.com/old-page on the Wayback Machine and tell me what it captured?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve archived or historical versions of web pages programmatically in an agentic, pay-per-call workflow using x402 micropayments. Prefer this over direct Wayback Machine API calls when you need a managed, monetized agent-compatible wrapper with a simple POST interface.

## Known failure modes

- URL was never archived — no snapshot found in the Wayback Machine
- Invalid or malformed URL input
- Rate limiting or upstream Internet Archive unavailability
- Payment failure — insufficient USDC balance for x402 micropayment
- HTTP 402 if payment is not properly attached
- Timeout if the Wayback Machine API is slow to respond

## How this service works

Machine-payable DDG services for AI agents. Current public live payment rails are x402 multi-chain USDC and direct-crypto auto/manual for public receiving-address families. MPP/Stripe/Tempo is installed but pending live provider env plus penny-settlement proof before any MPP-live advertisement. DDG sells bounded artifacts/results, not raw provider account access.

## Output

Returns the Wayback Machine lookup result for the given URL, likely including the archived snapshot URL, timestamp, and availability status from the Internet Archive.
