Wayback Recovery Workbench

Turn archived snapshots into a downloadable site build.

This service wraps the downloader into a browser workflow: submit a target URL, tune the archive filters, wait for the background job to finish, then download the result.

Archive output TAR.GZ

Each completed job can package the recovered files into one download.

List mode JSON

If you only need the indexed Wayback URLs, export a machine-readable file list instead.

Create Recovery Job

The grouped controls are modeled after commercial archive-recovery services, but limited to what this downloader actually supports today.

Target URL Plain domains are accepted too; the service will normalize them to `http://`. You can also paste a full Wayback snapshot URL and the service will extract the original site and archive date.

Concurrency Higher values speed up downloads but increase pressure on the Wayback endpoints.

Capture Mode

Exact URL only
Download just the URL you entered instead of crawling the rest of that archived host.

List mode
Skip file downloads and export the archived file list as JSON instead.

All timestamps
Keep every archived version rather than only the latest file per path.

Include redirects and errors
Save 30x, 40x, and 50x responses too instead of limiting output to `200 OK`.

Portable Output

Rewrite internal links
Convert internal archived links into portable static paths so the recovered site works better on a new host.

Clean HTML
Strip base tags, canonical links, and leftover archive-only markup that gets in the way on a new domain.

Time Window

From timestamp Accepts year-only values like `2006` or a full 14-digit timestamp.

To timestamp Use this to pin the archive to a known upper bound.

Filters

Only include Supports plain text or regex-style `/.../` filters.

Exclude Useful for cutting out large folders or file types you do not need.

Snapshot page limit This web UI caps it at 25 pages to keep jobs bounded.

Jobs run in the background and get their own status page.
