# If no argument is passed in get(), it gets the source of the Url used to create the object.
current_google_url_source = waybackpy_url_object.get()
print(current_google_url_source)


# The following chunk of code will force a new archive of google.com and get the source of the archived page.
# waybackpy_url_object.save() type is string.
