What is ArchiveBot?

ArchiveBot is an automated web crawler primarily operated by the Internet Archive and related preservation projects. Its main function is to systematically browse and download web pages, images, and other resources from the internet to create archival copies. These archives are used to preserve digital content for future reference, research, and public access, even if the original sources become unavailable. ArchiveBot is often invoked by users or organizations who wish to ensure that specific websites or pages are captured and stored in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine or similar repositories. The bot is designed to be respectful of website resources, typically adhering to robots.txt rules and rate limits to minimize server load. ArchiveBot plays a crucial role in digital preservation efforts, helping to maintain a historical record of the web.
