I want to get all the files for a given website at archive.org. Reasons might include:

• the original author did not archived his own website and it is now offline, I want to make a public cache from it


• I am the original author of some website and lost some content. I want to recover it


• ...

How do I do that ?

Taking into consideration that the archive.org wayback machine is very special: webpage links are not pointing to the archive itself, but to a web page that might no longer be there. JavaScript is used client-side to update the links, but a trick like a recursive wget won't work.

I tried different ways to download a site and finally I found the wayback machine downloader - which was mentioned by Hartator before (so all credits go to him, please), but I simply did not notice his comment to the question. To save you time, I decided to add the wayback_machine_downloader gem as a separate answer here.

The site at http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Restoring lists these ways to download from archive.org:

• 
  Wayback Machine Downloader, small tool in Ruby to download any website from the Wayback Machine. Free and open-source. My choice!


• 
  Warrick - Main site seems down.


• 
  Wayback downloader , a service that will download your site from the Wayback Machine and even add a plugin for Wordpress. Not free.

This can be done using a bash shell script combined with wget.

The idea is to use some of the URL features of the wayback machine:

• 
  http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://domain/* will list all saved pages from http://domain/ recursively. It can be used to construct an index of pages to download and avoid heuristics to detect links in webpages. For each link, there is also the date of the first version and the last version.


• 
  http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDhhmmss*/http://domain/page will list all version of http://domain/page for year YYYY. Within that page, specific links to versions can be found (with exact timestamp)


• 
  http://web.archive.org/web/YYYYMMDDhhmmssid_/http://domain/page will return the unmodified page http://domain/page at the given timestamp. Notice the id_ token.

These are the basics to build a script to download everything from a given domain.

There is a tool specifically designed for this purpose, Warrick: https://code.google.com/p/warrick/

It's based on the Memento protocol.

  As far as I managed to use this (in May 2017), it just recovers what archive.is holds, and pretty much ignores what is at archive.org; it also tries to get documents and images from the Google/Yahoo caches but utterly fails. Warrick has been cloned several times on GitHub since Google Code shut down, maybe there are some better versions there.

There is a tool specifically designed for this purpose, Warrick: https://code.google.com/p/warrick/

It's based on the Memento protocol.

  As far as I managed to use this (in May 2017), it just recovers what archive.is holds, and pretty much ignores what is at archive.org; it also tries to get documents and images from the Google/Yahoo caches but utterly fails. Warrick has been cloned several times on GitHub since Google Code shut down, maybe there are some better versions there.
