Feature Request: archive.today family integration

The archive.today sites (including archive.is, archive.md, archive.vn, archive.fi, etc) should have special integrations…

What is the problem that your feature request solves

archive.today’s webmaster uses its status for activism. Using browsers the webmaster does not like (Brave) will result in the site being unusable. I would like to locally archive all archive.today links.

Describe the ideal specific solution you’d want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

There is a .ZIP download available for every archive which can be downloaded, unzipped, and converted into the archive format.

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Currently, my attempts at archivebox adding archive.today links results in the archive failing.

How badly do you want this new feature?

• It’s an urgent deal-breaker, I can’t live without it
• It’s important to add it in the near-mid term future
• It would be nice to have eventually

---

• I’m willing to contribute dev time / money to fix this issue
• I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
• I’ve had a lot of difficulty getting ArchiveBox set up

We might be able to download that ZIP and rehost it verbatim in the ArchiveBox index without converting it to WARC. ArchiveBox wouldn’t be able to run any of its own extractors though (wget, youtubedl, git, chrome, etc.), you’d basically just see the archive.today version in the index with none of ArchiveBox’s own functionality. Is that what you’re asking for?

All archive methods (that are installed) are run for every URL, you can access them by clicking the favicon next to the title, or any of the icons in the “Files” column.
