18 hours agoThank you for the tips. I am actually interested in enumerating metadata for all the “items” as defined by the API page ever uploaded. For example, one item = one ID:
Archive.org is made up of “items”. An item is a logical “thing” that we represent on one web page on archive.org. An item can be considered as a group of files that deserve their own metadata.
You did cause me to look at the API docs again, though, and I think I found something that does enumerate all item names, and as a bonus, it will keep you updated when changes are made: https://archive.org/developers/changes.html
We’ll see how much progress I can make. It might take a while to get through all the millions of them.
The link to the above release post has the wrong caption for me. Its title says “Ambulance hits Oregon cyclist, rushes him to hospital, then sticks him with $1,800 bill, lawsuit says - Divisions by zero”
