Social media and other platforms status

Facebook

❌

Facebook prevents Archive-It crawlers from accessing most organizational profile pages and Groups pages. 

Instagram

Instagram is blocking collection and Wayback replay beyond the default 12-post load page for most organizational and personal profile pages. It may take 10-20 seconds for a page to load.

As a potential workaround, we have seen some success crawling third-party Instagram viewer platforms. See Archiving Instagram Feeds: Troubleshooting.

Flickr

Flickr photostreams can be collected, however Flickr photostream and album content may not fully replay in Wayback.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn prevents crawlers from accessing individual and 'school' profile pages. 'Company' profile pages and single posts are currently collected using Brozzler crawling technology when an 'ignore robots.txt' scope rule is added.

SoundCloud

Most SoundCloud creator pages do not replay in Wayback. 

Individual tracks and embedded SoundCloud audio can sometimes be replayed through the Wayback banner.

Squarespace

No known issues.

TikTok

TikTok pages for profiles and tags are experiencing replay issues in Wayback.

Individual posts can be replayed through the Wayback banner.

TikTok channels are experiencing collection and replay issues.

Twitter

Recent changes to the Twitter platform present multiple archiving challenges. Twitter feeds and hashtags are experiencing collection and replay issues.

For individual tweets with video, we have seen some success replaying media through the Wayback banner.

Vimeo

We're aware of issues collecting videos from Vimeo seeds and embeds, beginning in mid July 2024.

Wordpress

No known issues.

YouTube

Video watch pages may need to be opened in new browser tabs in order to replay.
