Archive-It

Load it

import { createArchive, providers } from "@agntn/archives";

const archive = createArchive(providers.archiveIt({ collection: 1234 }));

collection is required and must be numeric. It can also be given per call.

What it lists

snapshots queries wayback.archive-it.org/<collection>/timemap/cdx, the CDX/C index scoped to that collection. collapse and filter pass through like on the Wayback Machine. Snapshot URLs stay inside the collection, wayback.archive-it.org/<collection>/<timestamp>/<url>.

An index scoped to a collection answers in index order and ignores bounds it does not support, so the provider pulls a bounded page of captures and picks the closest one locally rather than trusting the server to.

Reading bodies

Same id_ replay as the Wayback Machine, under the collection path. Only the host and the collection segment differ.

Gotchas

• Every call needs the collection; a missing one is an error, not an empty listing.
• Different collections are different archives for provenance purposes. Diff within one.
