Quite a I while ago, I wrote Bookmarklet to save a page both in the WayBack machine and Archive.is (ending on the latter to solve a reCAPTCHA).
The bookmarklet has been very stable, but as of a week or so I need to press the Enter key for it to actually archive.
The reason is that Archive.is, also known as Archive Today, introduced a new URL parameter for auto-starting the archive of an URL.
The old one looked like this: https://archive.is/submit/?run=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Ffeed%2Fhistory%2Fcomment_history
The new one like this: https://archive.is/submit/?anyway=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Ffeed%2Fhistory%2Fcomment_history&submitid=auT7eAltRDxCOGSjdoRMhu3H9d91VEFlvjVztfvNU8XO0ccAhji5DvTyqQew6rfm
The new submitid URL 40 character base64 parameter is being checked in the back end. One way of obtaining one by loading https://archive.is/ then wait for it’s completion and grab it from there.
The alternative is to wait for the submit page to fully load, then find the “save” button via its HTML <input type="submit" value="save"> and press it.
So that’s on the todo list for the updated Bookmarklet of the above blog post.
For now, I just have to press the Enter key for each archived page, I wonder how long that will last (:
Oh: to get the “do you want to save the page again” URL you will have to know the canonical URL first, as that ID is in the again URL, see the bold bits here:
- https://archive.is/c6d09
- https://archive.is/c6d09/again?url=https://www.youtube.com/feed/history/comment_history
