Use the tool for the live archive lookup, then return to this guide when you need the repeatable workflow, failure cases, and the next pages to read.
Step-by-Step
- Paste a tweet or profile URL into Xarchive Viewer.
- Run the CDX lookup and scan returned timestamps.
- Preview captures to confirm tweet visibility and context.
- Bookmark important timestamps for your case notes.
- Export selected results in JSON, CSV, or HTML.
Common Failure Cases
Need machine-readable output
Use JSON export for automation and CSV for quick filtering in spreadsheet workflows.
Uncertain if capture is authentic
Verify the archive URL, timestamp, and target URL alignment before citing.
Data Source and Limitations
Data source: Internet Archive CDX index (https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx). Results depend on what was publicly crawled and stored.
Run This in Xarchive
Search captures, preview snapshots, and export your verified set in one flow. Keep the original URL, archive URL, and timestamp together so the evidence bundle is easy to reuse later.
