archive.is (formerly archive.today) is a privately funded digital time capsule,[2] with data-centre located in Europe at Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France.[3] The archive runs Apache Hadoop and Apache Accumulo software. It retrieves one page at a time similar to WebCite, smaller than 50 MB each, but with Google Maps and Twitter included.

It captures textual content of web pages per request, as well as images, and content of frames, loaded or generated by Javascript on Web 2.0 sites without active elements or scripts. Screenshots are of 1024 × 768 pixels.[4][5]

Unlike crawlers such as Wayback Machine, archive.is only captures individual pages in response to explicit user requests, and so does not obey the robots exclusion standard.[6] Because of this, website owners cannot unilaterally remove content at will, thus it is a "permanent" archive.[7]

Since July 2013, archive.is supports the Memento Project application programming interface (API),[8] and Firefox[9] and Chrome[10] Plugins.[8][11]

Use cases

The archive is used by some authors and hacktivists:
