Guides

Task-focused walkthroughs: searching, items and metadata, downloading, uploading, and the Wayback Machine.

Each guide takes one job and shows it end to end, with the flags that matter and the pipelines they enable. Start anywhere; they do not depend on each other.

  • Searching builds Lucene queries, sorts, projects fields, and pages through large result sets.
  • Items and metadata reads the metadata record, a friendly summary, single fields, and file listings.
  • Downloading pulls files with verification, resume, and concurrency.
  • Uploading pushes files into your own items and removes them.
  • The Wayback Machine finds, fetches, and creates web captures.
Searching Build Lucene queries, sort and project fields, filter by mediatype and date, and export large result sets. Items and metadata Read an item's metadata record, a friendly summary, single fields, and its file listing. Downloading Pull whole items or selected files with concurrency, md5 verification, resume, and a flat layout. Uploading Push files into your own items over the S3-like IAS3 interface, set metadata, and delete files. The Wayback Machine Find the closest snapshot of a URL, list its capture history, fetch a snapshot as text or links, and save a fresh capture.
