|
#### 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
|
|
|
|
```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"
|
|
|
|
waybackpy_url_object = waybackpy.Url(url=URL, user_agent=UA)
|
|
known_urls = waybackpy_url_object.known_urls(alive=True, subdomain=False) # alive and subdomain are optional.
|
|
print(known_urls) # known_urls() returns list of URLs

#### 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.
|
|
|
|
```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
