How to Capture Wayback Machines

When accessing certain URLs from the Web Archive/Wayback Machine, you may encounter a ‘429 Too many requests’ error in your web browser. This error stems from the archival process of the URLs and is not a fault of the browser itself.

To address this issue, the first thing you can try is to enable Skip Proxy. You can access this by clicking the gear icon at the top right-hand corner of your screen and selecting “Browser Settings.” From there you can toggle the Skip Proxy setting off and on. This will prompt a browser to reload. After reloading, re-enter the URL to be captured.

Skip Proxy allows specific websites or domains to be accessed directly without going through a proxy server.

 An alternative method to capture such URLs is to make a Batch Web page capture.
