README

Simple wayback interface for archive.org.

📦 Installation & Basic Usage

To install the package call Composer and execute the following command:

$ composer require baraja-core/wayback

No configuration is needed, the package will take care of the dependencies itself. The use of DIC is not required. The cache is automatically stored on the filesystem.

How to use

Simply create instance of Wayback and call methods:

$wayback = new Wayback;

// Return list of available archives by host
$wayback->getArchivedUrlsByHost('baraja.cz');

// Return list of available archives by URL (http/https and www will be ignored)
$wayback->getArchivedUrls('https://php.baraja.cz/navody');

// Return list of crawled subdomains (for large sites can not be complete)
$wayback->getSubdomains('baraja.cz');

// Save now given URL to Wayback
$wayback->saveUrl('https://baraja.cz');

// Find nearest archived datetime
$wayback->getClosedArchivedDateTime('https://baraja.cz/robots.txt', new \DateTime('2020-09-04'));

// Find and download nearest archived file
$wayback->getClosedArchivedFile('https://baraja.cz/robots.txt', new \DateTime('2020-09-04'));

// Download specific file by wayback link
$wayback->getArchivedFile('http://web.archive.org/web/20200923184117/https://baraja.cz/robots.txt');

The return of all results from the Wayback Machine is subject to caching. The results are automatically cached on your file system.

DateTime

DateTime is stored in Wayback format (string). Wayback stores the date in the UTC timezone. This package converts datetime automatically.

Example: Date 20050101143010 is 2005-01-01 14:30:10.
