from archive-it:

While we would love to have y’all as an Archive-It partner, I think this specific request may be better suited for our Wayback Machine’s "Save Page Now" (SPN) functionality. I’ve found a few resources on SPN API integrations that might fit your needs. Here is the standard API info page: https://archive.org/help/wayback_api.php. Here is our developer wiki: https://archive.readme.io/docs/overview. I also found this resource for a python wrapper for SPN: https://github.com/palewire/savepagenow.

Please let me know if you find something here that works for you so I can share with the team and anyone else who may have a similar request in the future! If not, I can reach out to some of my colleagues in our patron services division to see if they have other suggestions, or simply connect you someone.
