Does the CLI *request* Wayback to archive the page? #172

Closed DGaffney closed 2 years ago

DGaffney commented 2 years ago

When I run the waybackpy CLI with the following command:

root@server:~/repo# waybackpy --url "https://example.com/some-unique-path" --save
Archive URL:
https://web.archive.org/web/1234567890/https://example.com/some-unique-path
Cached save:
False

Am I asking that Internet archive produce a snapshot of the page? At some point later, can I visit https://web.archive.org/web/1234567890/https://example.com/some-unique-path to see that snapshot once a machine has taken the snapshot?
