You may want to supply a specific timestamp to lock your backup to an older version of the website, which can be found inside the urls of the regular Wayback Machine website (e.g., http://web.archive.org/web/20060716231334/http://example.com).
You may want to supply a specific timestamp to lock your backup to an older version of the website, which can be found inside the urls of the regular Wayback Machine website (e.g., http://web.archive.org/web/20060716231334/http://example.com).
Wayback Machine Downloader will then fetch only file versions on or prior to the timestamp specified:
wayback_machine_downloader http://example.com --timestamp 20060716231334
## Optional Only URL Filter
You may want to retrieve files that are of certain type (e.g., .pdf, .jpg, .wrd...) or are in a specific directory. To do so, you can supply the `--only` flag with a string or a Regex to limit what Wayback Machine Downloader will download.
wayback_machine_downloader http://example.com --only \.pdf
