# Archive.org Bot (unofficial)

## 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.
- Select "Take snapshot" to take a fresh snapshot of the live page.


**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 stats for the bot:

`/stats`

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.

Archive.org

A bot that posts archive.org links for links you react to with 🏛

When the bot sees a Google AMP link, it posts a link without Google AMP automatically in channels it's watching. The message is as unobtrusive as possible so that conversation isn't interrupted.

Uses the API available at <a href=https://www.amputatorbot.com/>https://www.amputatorbot.com/</a>, with many, many thanks.
