How this service works

Check whether a page is saved in Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and get the snapshot closest to a date (or the latest), with its link. See how a site looked or recover deleted content.

Output

Returns a JSON object with: the queried URL, whether it is archived (boolean), the direct link to the closest Wayback Machine snapshot, the capture date and time, the HTTP status code of the archived page, the source name (Internet Archive, Wayback Machine), and a link to browse all available captures for that domain.

Example use cases

Recover deleted article content

“A news article I bookmarked at 'techblog.com/article-123' has been taken down — can you check if it's archived in the Wayback Machine and get me the most recent saved version?”

Historical website appearance research

“I want to see what 'apple.com' looked like around June 2007, right after the first iPhone launch. Can you pull the archived snapshot from the Wayback Machine closest to that date?”

Verify page existed before a date

“Can you check whether 'example-startup.com/pricing' was archived in the Wayback Machine before 2020, and give me a link to the earliest snapshot you can find from that year?”

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need to check whether a specific URL has ever been saved by the Internet Archive and retrieve a direct snapshot link. It is ideal when the target page no longer exists, has changed significantly, or you need to verify its historical content. Prefer this over general web scraping when the page is deleted or inaccessible, and over manual Wayback Machine browsing when you need a programmatic, structured result with a precise date.

Side effects

URL not archived — returns archivada: false with null snapshot fields
Invalid or malformed URL input — may return error or empty result
Date format incorrect (not YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD) — may cause lookup failure
Internet Archive API unavailable or rate-limited — service may time out
No snapshot near the requested date — returns closest available which may be far from target
