query IA and alert user if recent copy of current URL is found.

The internet archive API can tell you if a URL is already in the archive via a simple API, so: http://archive.org/wayback/available?url=http://whitehouse.gov will return

{"archived_snapshots":{"closest":{"available":true,"url":"http://web.archive.org/web/20170202062552/https://www.whitehouse.gov/","timestamp":"20170202062552","status":"200"}}}

or w/ jquery:

var response $.getJSON("http://archive.org/wayback/available?url=http://whitehouse.gov");
console.log(response.responseJSON.archived_snapshots.closest.timestamp);

I would love to see this:

• When page opens, 'Submit" button actually reads "Check". On click, check is run, user gets a message (in the <h3 id="success|error"> elements w/ two possibilities:
  • "not archived -- submitting" -- at this point runs all subsequent $.get() calls, to pipeline app, to google form, or elsewhere
  • "archived -- submit anyway". Button text now changes to "Submit" and clicking on it sends to google form/pipeline app/whatever.

Is there anyone out there who thinks they might be able to od this by Saturday @mi-lee @sonalranjit @atesgoral @danielballan @geppy?

If you don't know what the pipeline app is, don't worry about it, we are moving the URL tracking out of Google forms finally ,eventually this app will also move.

@atesgoral if you think your other cooler idea can also work pls go ahead and implement that!!!!Sat morning is good, Friday even is better, later is also fine but then I will stop worrying about this. Thanks all
