COLLECTED BY
Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
Collection: Archive Team: URLs
https://lab.github.com/api receive the v0 version of the REST API.
This API is still in an early stage of development, so most aspects are still subject to change.
https://lab.github.com/api/v0. All data is sent and received as JSON.
$ curl -i https://lab.github.com/api/v0
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Cowboy
Date: Mon, 05 Aug 2019 18:55:49 GMT
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Connection: Keep-alive
Etag: W/"2-vyGp6PvFo4RvsFtPoIWeCReyIC8"
Blank fields are included as null instead of being omitted.
All timestamps return in ISO 8601 format:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
For more information about timezones in timestamps, see this section.
404 Not Found, instead of 403 Forbidden in some places. This is to prevent the accidental leakage of private data to unauthorized users.
curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR-TOKEN" https://lab.github.com/api/v0
Learning Lab only accepts sending tokens in request headers.
401 Unauthorized:
$ curl -H "Authorization: token YOUR-TOKEN" https://lab.github.com/api/v0
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
{
"message": "Bad credentials",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3"
}
Note: Personal access tokens generated for use with the Learning Lab API will not work with the GitHub API and vice versa. These tokens can only be used to authenticate via Learning Lab's API.
curl -i "https://lab.github.com/api/v0/courses/githubtraining?limit=50"
In this example, the githubtraining value is provided in the path, while limit is passed in the query string.
GET request to the root endpoint to get more information about what the REST API v0 supports:
curl https://lab.github.com/api/v0
| Error Code | Description |
|---|---|
400 |
The querystring contained invalid parameters. For example, if you passed a 'limit' parameter a string instead of a number. |
401 |
When the requester has not authenticated with the API |
403 |
When the course data is public, but it's not yours. If you tried to update someone else's progress in a course they're taking. |
404 |
Page not found. We may send this instead of a 400or403 even if what you're requesting is valid but you need credentials to access it. |
405 |
You're accessing a valid route, but the HTTP verb isn't supported. For example if you tried POST /courses |
408 |
The request timed out. This often happens simply due to a slow network connection. |
422 |
Unprocessable Entity. You may have sent a string or object that could not be parsed or read. |
429 |
API rate limit exceeded. The default rate limit is 60 requests per hour. Authenticated requests get 5000 per hour. |
| Status Code | Description |
|---|---|
301 |
Permanent redirection. The URI you used to make the request has been superseded by the one specified in the Location header field. This and all future requests to this resource should be directed to the new URI. |
302, 307 |
Temporary redirection. The request should be repeated verbatim to the URI specified in the Location header field but clients should continue to use the original URI for future requests. |
| Verb | Description |
|---|---|
GET |
Used for retrieving resources. |
POST |
Used for creating resources. |
PATCH |
Used for updating resources with partial JSON data. For instance, an Issue resource has title and body attributes. A PATCH request may accept one or more of the attributes to update the resource. PATCH is a relatively new and uncommon HTTP verb, so resource endpoints also accept POST requests. |
PUT |
Used for replacing resources or collections. For PUT requests with no body attribute, be sure to set the Content-Length header to zero. |
DELETE |
Used for deleting resources. |
?offset parameter. For some resources, you can also set a custom page size up to 100 with the ?limit parameter. Note that for technical reasons some endpoints may not respect the ?limit parameter.
curl 'https://lab.github.com/api/v0/courses?offset=2&limit=100'
Note that page numbering is 1-based and that omitting the ?limit parameter will return the first page.
