#### Wayback Machine API command-line interface

Waybackpy is a CLI tool that interfaces with the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine APIs.

Wayback Machine has three client-side public APIs; Save API( aka SavePageNow), Availability API, and the CDX API.

These three APIs can be accessed via the waybackpy from the terminal.

**Repository**: <https://github.com/akamhy/waybackpy>

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install waybackpy

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
