Thank you very much for subscribing! In this issue I'll tell you what's new in my projects in the last three months (yes, the newsletter is rare, but I hope to publish it more often in the future)
A series of articles about using the Archive.org CDX API

These very short and simple articles will help you automate research of old versions of web pages of interest to you (e.g. company websites or people's social media profiles) and save a lot of time.
