Some notes because of Some links on the Archive Today controversy and steps I need to take on this blog: some more notes and links to automate archival into the Ghostarchive:
- Ghostarchive seems to need a POST request instead of a GET request to archive pages
- A POST request is harder to start from a script than a GET request
- There are some tools that automate an embedded Chrome browser to accomplish archiving
- There seems to be no user script or plugin yet
