-ArchiveBox doesn't require a constantly running server or backend, instead, you just run the `./archive` command each time you want to import new links and update the static output. It can import and export JSON (among other formats), so it's easy to script or hook up to other APIs. If you run it on a schedule and import from browser history or bookmarks regularly, you can sleep soundly knowing that the slice of the internet you care about will be automatically preserved in multiple, durable long-term formats that will be accessible for decades (or longer). +#### How it works + +ArchiveBox is a CLI application written in Python, using wget, chrome, youtube-dl, and other common tools to archive URLs.
