Archive.org Discord Bot

React to a message that has links with 🏛 (The “classical building” emoji) and the bot will respond in the channel with an archive.org link for the link(s). It saves the page to archive.org if needed.

• You can also right-click (or long press) a message and use “Get snapshot” to get a message with snapshots that only you can see or select “Take snapshot” to take a snapshot of the live page.

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

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 stats for the bot:

/stats

Get this help message:

/help

• 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.
