I am trying to search the Internet Archive using their ia
command line tool:
https://archive.org/developers/internetarchive/cli.html
I tried this in macOS Terminal:
./ia search 'site:"theverge.com"'
But it returns nothing. It literally just returns blank:
https://i.sstatic.net/A2GOf7C8.png
I have already run the ./ia configure
command and confirmed the configuration with access keys have been saved to my /Users/username/.config/internetarchive/ia.ini
file.
I tried performing an advanced search using proxyman:
https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=site%3Atheverge.com&output=json
This also returns nothing in the docs
in the returned JSON:
https://i.sstatic.net/E41hAu1Z.png
Am I missing something?
The other option I tried was using their CDX:
http://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com&output=json&filter=statuscode%3A200&fl=timestamp%2Curlkey%2Cdigest&collapse=digest&from=20250101
This gives me a bunch of timestamps and hashes:
[["timestamp","urlkey","digest"],
["20250101115214","com,theverge)/","TKDDQK2R4D6GYWVKB3TXZHICBK3SX5X6"],
["20250101171809","com,theverge)/","XH5RGNUK4TIFBIM3BHB3ZPGMLVUP4RLZ"],
["20250102155507","com,theverge)/","TYPMLYUTBEP6HKRXWBLFYJ3B7VVKY4MH"],
["20250103055042","com,theverge)/","FCZ7ZRULMJLO4CZLYWHHWE5FKNMKIUNB"],
Is there a way I can download each of these files using the hash?
