ArchiveBox imports lists of URLs, renders the pages in a headless, autheticated, user-scriptable browser, and then saves archive of the content in multiple redundant common formats (HTML, PDF, PNG, WARC) that will last long after the originals disappear off the internet.

It automatically extracts assets and media from pages and saves them in easily-accessible folders, with out-of-the-box support for extracting git repositories, audio, video, subtitles, images, PDFs, and more. #### How does it work? Simply download the repo, then run the `./archive < urls` command each time you want to import new links and update your archive `./output` HTML folder. ArchiveBox is written in Python 3 and uses wget, Chrome headless, youtube-dl, pywb, and other common unix tools to save each page you add in multiple redundant formats. -It doesn't require a constantly running server or backend, just run the command and open the generated `output/index.html` in a browser to view the archive. It can import and export JSON (among other formats), so it's easy to script or hook up to other APIs. If you run it on a schedule and import from browser history or bookmarks regularly, you can sleep soundly knowing that the slice of the internet you care about will be automatically preserved in multiple, durable long-term formats that will be accessible for decades (or longer). +It doesn't require a constantly running server or backend, just open the generated `output/index.html` in a browser to view the archive.
