The internet is a living, breathing space—constantly growing, changing, and, unfortunately, disappearing. Important articles get taken down. Research papers become inaccessible. Historical records vanish. When content disappears, we lose pieces of our shared knowledge.

I’m a little confused. This does not replace the IA-archiver crawler, does it? Do you have an official page for the crawler actually? In which situation should we use the Save Page instead of letting the crawler do it job?
Question 1: Is this platform available to the public or can only scientists and experts use it?
Question 2: Can users from all countries access it?
is there an obvious way to get the IA representation of a URL without having to trawl through collections in the Python API?
