About Archive.org

Unofficial Archive.org bot


Usage

Right-click (or long press) a message and use "Get snapshot" to post a message with snapshots for the links in the message.

  • Use the private option for a message only you can see.

This is a pretty good way to get around paywalls to read articles for free.


Commands

Configure the bot:

/settings

Get a snapshot for one URL in a message visible only to you (It will ask if you want to try to find an existing snapshot or take a new one):

/archive

Get this help message:

/help


NOTES

  • It can take up to a few minutes for archive.org to save a page, so if you don't get a link immediately, please be patient.
