Introduction
This page provides some information related to an Internet Archive CLI tool.
Internet Archive CLIs tool
As of Fall 2023, the link below worked and pointed to a Python binary script:
https://ia800702.us.archive.org/27/items/ia-pex/ia
If the script was installed on Debian 11 and chmod'd to 755, it provided CLI access to Internet Archive. The following command configured the tool:
ia configure
A command similar to the following could then be used to upload a tarball to Internet Archive [where it would be downloadable by the public]:
ia upload \ --metadata=mediatype:software \ Final_Minetest_Assemble \ minetest-assemble-231123.tgz
The uploader needed to enter some information manually using the Internet Archive web GUI. This included original creator, original date, and description.
The "Final_Minetest_Assemble" string in this example specified a unique and unchangeable item ID.
To replace the uploaded file, without deleting the item ID, one could do this:
ia delete Final_Minetest_Assemble # repeat the ia upload
Warning #1: If one deleted the item ID at the GUI level, it was then gone forever.
Warning #2: It wasn't possible to change mediatype at the GUI level.
