## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve historical or archived versions of a specific web page, verify past content of a URL, investigate how a site has changed over time, or recover content from pages that have since been deleted or modified. Ideal for research, fact-checking, compliance auditing, and competitive intelligence tasks requiring historical web context.

## Known failure modes

- URL has never been archived — returns no snapshot found
- Requested timestamp predates any archived version — returns nearest available or error
- Malformed URL input — returns validation error
- Wayback Machine API unavailable — upstream timeout or 5xx
- Private or excluded domain (robots.txt exclusion) — no snapshots available

## How this service works

Queries the Internet Archive Wayback Machine for historical snapshots of any public URL. Returns the closest archived snapshot URL, capture timestamp (ISO 8601), and HTTP status code at the time of capture. Optionally lists up to 10 recent snapshots to trace how a site evolved over time. Covers 800B+ archived pages spanning 27+ years of web history. Useful for due diligence (when was this domain first archived?), fact-checking, competitor tracking, and retrieving archived regulatory or financia

## Output

Returns the archived snapshot closest to the requested date for the given URL, including the archive URL, actual snapshot timestamp, and HTTP status. If list_snapshots is true, also returns up to 10 historical snapshots with their timestamps, HTTP statuses, and direct Wayback Machine archive URLs, enabling change-over-time analysis.
