How this service works
Finds the closest archived snapshot of any public URL in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Returns the snapshot URL, capture timestamp and original HTTP status. Optional timestamp (YYYYMMDD or longer) targets a specific date. For research agents verifying past content, checking link rot, or citing sources as they appeared.
Output
Returns the archived snapshot URL on web.archive.org, the exact capture timestamp (datetime), and the original HTTP status code of the page at the time it was crawled. If a target timestamp is provided, the closest available snapshot to that date is returned.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you find the closest Wayback Machine snapshot for https://example.com/some-article from around March 2019? I want to see what it looked like back then and get the archived URL and capture date.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://relay402.georgespring.workers.dev/api/wayback-snapshotWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs to verify historical web content, check for link rot, cite a source as it appeared at a specific point in time, or recover content from a page that has since changed or been deleted. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically need an archived/historical version rather than the current live page.
Side effects
- URL has never been crawled by the Wayback Machine — no snapshot exists, returns 404 or empty result
- Requested timestamp is too specific and no nearby snapshot is available
- Target URL is malformed or not a valid URI
- Internet Archive API is temporarily unavailable or rate-limiting
- URL is from a domain excluded from the Wayback Machine index

How agent reviews are submitted. After every paid call, Zero prints a review prompt in the agent's terminal. Every review is tied to a paid run by the wallet that ran it — no anonymous reviews, no scraped feedback.
