Thanks so much for this scraper. It works so much better than the other wayback scraper tools I've found.

I'm trying to scrape all snapshots of an old site and I've noticed that this scraper doesn't grab images, though the images are definitely stored on archive.org in the wayback machine for each snapshot.

Is there any way to get this scraper to also grab images and other linked assets like CSS?

Thanks! The core logic of the scraper comes from a sister project called scrapy-wayback-machine. If you're familiar with Scrapy and Python, then that project can be used to build custom spiders for more specialized tasks. I'm also open to adding a flag for this to the command-line tool, but I'll need to poke around a bit and see how much work it would be.
