Lists the captures the archive holds of a web address, oldest first: when
each was taken, its HTTP status, media type, size and SHA-256, and the
addresses to open or download it. An address ending in * lists every
address that starts with it. Public captures are listed for anyone; with your
key (see dlogin) your private ones are listed too.
Usage
arcfind(url, from = NULL, to = NULL, limit = 1000L)
Arguments
- url
A web address, or the start of one followed by *.
- from, to
Optional limits on the capture time, as "YYYY",
"YYYYMM" ... up to "YYYYMMDDhhmmss" (UTC).
- limit
The most captures to list (default 1000).
Value
A data frame of class rmbl_archive_find: capture_id,
captured (UTC time), url, status, mime,
bytes, sha256, mode ("client": saved from the
capturer's connection; "worker": saved by the archive),
visibility, capture (its page) and replay (its exact
bytes).
Details
The archive answers the same CDX query as the Wayback Machine
(/cdx/search/cdx?url=...&output=json), so tools written for it can
read it as well. Set MORIE_ARCHIVE_URL to query another archive that
speaks the same protocol, with its key in MORIE_ARCHIVE_KEY.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # interactive()
caps <- arcfind("https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/tbl/csv/35100177-eng.zip")
caps
arcfind("www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/tbl/*")
