I made this!

I had an old website of mine (my old video game portafolio) that I wanted to bring back to life. I have no sources and no backups. But it was still on the Wayback Machine! I first wrote a quick wrapper in Ruby and it worked fine. I then decide to open source it and publish it. It was a fun adventure to see this being used by so many! <3




Kudos for taking the time to write up a nice, clean, and concise readme. I don't know about everyone, but this makes all the difference in the world to me.


Thanks very much for this! I used it a few years ago to recover some lost content from my blog: https://simonwillison.net/2017/Oct/8/missing-content/


OMG. Thank you for making this (and thanks to the archive.org folks for scraping in the first place)! I used it to recover my old blog which is probably lying around somewhere on some HDD in a closet, but it's so nice to have it on GitHub now!


Thanks for writing it, I used it to recover part of one of the Debian conference websites.

PS: could you merge my two pull requests? ;)
