Social media and other platforms status

Facebook

❌

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

Instagram

Captures made since September 2020 may not replay completely in Wayback. 

Instagram now prevents crawlers from accessing most organizational and personal profile pages. 

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 personal and organizational profile pages. Web crawls cannot collect pages that return the HTTP 999 status code.

SoundCloud

Some archived SoundCloud seeds might not replay in Wayback. 

Embedded SoundCloud audio tracks can sometimes be replayed through the Wayback banner.

Squarespace

No known issues.

TikTok

TikTok prevents the capture of the metadata used by Archive-It Wayback to replay videos in page. Video files can still be captured from individual video pages.

Twitter

Recent changes to visibility of content on Twitter present multiple archiving challenges. At the moment, we don't recommend crawling Twitter feeds. We're monitoring changes on the Twitter platform closely and will update if this changes.

Vimeo

No known issues.

Wordpress

No known issues.

YouTube

Captures of all YouTube platform pages made between October 27th and November 20, 2023 may be missing video and CSS files and will not replay correctly in Wayback. We recommend recrawling these seeds with Brozzler.

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