💡 AI Hint: Search the Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) for the full capture history of a URL. Returns each archived snapshot with its capture timestamp, original URL, MIME type, HTTP status code, content digest, byte length, and a ready-to-open archive URL. Use match_type to widen the scope: exact for one URL, prefix for all paths under it, host for a whole host, or domain to include every subdomain. Filter by date range, HTTP status, or MIME type, and use collapse to deduplicate (e.g. one capture per day, or only when the content changed). The backbone tool for tracking how a page or site changed over time. A URL with no captures returns an empty list.
