List of URLs that Wayback Machine knows and has archived for a domain name
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1) If alive=True is set, waybackpy will check all URLs to identify the
alive URLs. Don't use with popular websites like google or it would
take too long.
2) To include URLs from subdomain set sundomain=True
.. code:: python
import waybackpy
URL = "akamhy.github.io"
UA = "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 8_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/12B435 Safari/600.1.4"
known_urls = waybackpy.Url(url=URL, user_agent=UA).known_urls(alive=True, subdomain=False) # alive and subdomain are optional.
print(known_urls) # known_urls() returns list of URLs
.. code:: bash
['http://akamhy.github.io',

Fetch all the URLs that the Wayback Machine knows for a domain
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1) You can add the '--alive' flag to only fetch alive links.
2) You can add the '--subdomain' flag to add subdomains.
3) '--alive' and '--subdomain' flags can be used simultaneously.
4) All links will be saved in a file, and the file will be created in
the current working directory.
.. code:: bash
pip install waybackpy
# Ignore the above installation line.
waybackpy --url akamhy.github.io --user_agent "my-user-agent" --known_urls
# Prints all known URLs under akamhy.github.io
waybackpy --url akamhy.github.io --user_agent "my-user-agent" --known_urls --alive
# Prints all known URLs under akamhy.github.io which are still working and not dead links.
waybackpy --url akamhy.github.io --user_agent "my-user-agent" --known_urls --subdomain
# Prints all known URLs under akamhy.github.io inclusing subdomain
waybackpy --url akamhy.github.io --user_agent "my-user-agent" --known_urls --subdomain --alive
# Prints all known URLs under akamhy.github.io including subdomain which are not dead links and still alive.
