Questions
Archive.org, with SPIRITT.
01What can SPIRITT do with Archive.org?+
Search items, read full metadata and file lists, download files, find and list Wayback Machine captures, render IIIF images and read view analytics. For your own items it uploads and replaces files, patches metadata, copies or deletes files, queues derivation and tracks tasks.
02Can it find old versions of a web page?+
Yes. SPIRITT finds the closest Wayback snapshot for each URL and date, or lists every capture of a URL or host within a time range.
03Can it upload to my collections?+
Yes, through your account. SPIRITT checks identifier availability, creates new items with title, collection and media type, or adds files to existing items, then follows the task to completion.
04What usage data is available?+
All-time, 30-day and 7-day views, daily view history, and geographic and referrer analytics for your items and collections.
05How does SPIRITT handle big batches?+
It checks upload capacity and task rate limits before large batches, paces the work and reads task logs to requeue anything that stalls.
06How do I connect Archive.org?+
Open a SPIRITT workspace, connect Archive.org with your IA-S3 keys and describe the collections or research you want handled.
