Save changed versions to archive.org / archive.is? #2

Closed bitsgalore closed 4 years ago

bitsgalore commented 5 years ago

Don't know if this is within the scope of this bot, but a possible further enhancement would be to automatically submit any changed article versions to archive.org and archive.is. For archive.org a request like this does the trick:

https://web.archive.org/save/https://nos.nl/op3/artikel/2256596-kimberly-laat-je-het-zwarte-perspectief-zien.html

The full API documentation (which for some reason doesn't describe the save functionality) is here:

https://archive.org/help/wayback_api.php

Saving to archive.is looks slightly more complicated, but I found some Python code that shows how it works:

(Note that there's also this javascript library, but it appears to be out of date)

I'm going to give this some thought. Considering the currently present functionality, it's definitely out of scope, but scopes can be broadened.
