https://archive.ph/
It takes a 'snapshot' of a webpage that will always be online even if the original page disappears.
It saves a text and a graphical copy of the page for better accuracy and provides a short and reliable link to an unalterable record of any web page including those from Web 2.0 sites:

This can be useful if you want to take a 'snapshot' of a page which could change soon: price list, job offer, real estate listing, drunk blog post, ...
Saved pages will have no active elements and no scripts, so they keep you safe as they cannot have any popups or malware!

(22,540 posts)But, LMSP, do you have any resources to share that would help us hack in and collect the money charged by the paywall?

(16,894 posts)One site objected to its crawler (not me) probably because of traffic or some javascript quirk. Keep trying!
Archivebuttons has many options available.
One more thing. Sometimes, take the title of a paywalled article and search the web for it. Often, a paywalled article is syndicated at MSN or yahoo or other.
Happy paywall busting! They open up so google can index their sites and drive traffic, but close down for peeps. They want it both ways.

(27,090 posts)What you’re talking about. I have only run into one instance of not being able to find or create an archive and I have been using these links for years.
I got tired of sharing them individually every time someone complained about a pay wall. So, I made an OP.
But you rock on! Maybe I will come back and read this again and it will make sense to me eventually.

(16,894 posts)I've been doing this so long that I run into the tough cases.
contact me when you run into problems.
AND THAT'S ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS.

(16,894 posts)Sites, including DU use cloudflare etc., which get antsy.
I really suspect it’s the target site, because I don’t think that the archive is doing it, but it’s to experiment and “ask the internet’”
That’s why I mentioned syndication. Sometimes, another site will syndicate the article.
The fact that in all these years of internet, we don’t have micropayments, only countless damn subscriptions (in my case ZERO of them) says something about the dinosaur brains making very unfriendly use of technology.

(32,761 posts)I'm constantly hitting paywalled articles, so I copy the article and go to archive.ph and paste it. If I didn't have the url's in my toolbar, I would constantly forgot them!
