Pp Archive Is
This is the CLI you reach for when someone sends you a paywalled WSJ link or you need to preserve a URL before it vanishes. It wraps archive.today and the Wayback Machine with smart lookup-before-submit logic so you're not creating duplicate snapshots, plus automatic fallback when one service is down or serving CAPTCHAs to cloud IPs. The read command is the hero: it finds existing archives first and only submits fresh captures when nothing exists. Bulk mode handles batch archiving with rate limiting, and get with Wayback fallback means you can actually extract article text from paywalled sources without manual intervention. No API keys, no auth dance, just a Go binary that does the right thing. Honest take: this should have been the official API.
