I've used it for about a year. ArchiveBox works well. My only complaint is that there's no JSON API to trigger archiving a page--it's primarily a CLI tool despite being built with Django. This can be worked around of course, and there's a browser plug-in to auto-archive sites you visit based on a whitelist.
- nikisweeting 3y agoAPI is coming soon (relatively, it's still a one-man project)! Stay tuned https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496 https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/496 I have an event-sourcing refactor in progress now to allow us to pluginize functionality like the API (similar to Home Assistant with a plugin app store), it will take a month or two. Next up is the REST API using the new plugin system.
- iansinnott 3y agoYeah, thanks for linking to the issue. I'm one of the upvotes on that. However, the age of that issue suggests to me that current contributors are (or have historically been) uninterested in a REST API. Still, would be great to see such an update, and I'm still using ArchiveBox either way. (Just read your bio, thanks for creating this)
- nikisweeting 3y agoIt's not so much that the team isn't interested in building it, more that there there were some volunteers that indicated they started work on APIs already so I moved on to work on other areas of the codebase. Those draft PRs have since been closed as stale... so I'm planning to come back to doing the API myself in the next major version cycle.
