Web App

The application is a prototype hosted on Streamlit Cloud, serving as an alternative to the command line tool.

Open the application.

Filters

  • Filtering by date range: Using the from and to filters

  • Limit: Query result limits.

  • Offset: Allows for a simple way to scroll through the results.

  • Only unique Wayback Machine URLs: Filtering by the collapse option using the urlkey field and the URL Match Scope prefix

Username Query Parameter

An alternative way to access the application is by using the username query parameter. This allows for automatic configuration of the Username input and automatically searches. Additionally, when the username parameter is sent, the accordion with the filters will already be open.

Example URL format:

https://waybacktweets.streamlit.app?username=<USERNAME>
