Usage

1. Start the server

Start without docker

go run ./cmd/server/main.go

Change API address

API_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:3001 go run ./cmd/server/main.go

Start in docker

docker compose up -d webarchive

2. Add a page

curl -X POST --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{
          \"url\": \"https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf/issues/1937\",
          \"formats\": [
            \"pdf\",
            \"headers\"
          ]
        }" | jq .

or

curl -X POST --location \
  "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fwkhtmltopdf%2Fwkhtmltopdf%2Fissues%2F1937&formats=pdf%2Cheaders&description=Foo+Bar"

3. Get the page's info

curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages/$page_id" | jq .

where $page_id — value of the id field from previous command response. If status field in response is success (or with_errors) - the results field will contain all processed formats with ids of the stored files.

4. Open file in browser

xdg-open "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages/$page_id/file/$file_id"

Where $page_id — value of the id field from previous command response, and $file_id — the id of interesting file.

5. List all stored pages

curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:5001/api/v1/pages" | jq .
