Summarize web archive capture index (CDX) files.
$ pip install cdxsummary
Alternatively, install from the source.
$ python3 setup.py install
To run the tool as a one-off Docker container, build the image as following, which will place the cdxsummary executable as the entrypoint script of the container.
$ docker image build -t cdxsummary .
$ docker container run -it --rm cdxsummary
- Summarize local CDX files or remote ones over HTTP
- Handle
gzandbz2compression seamlessly - Handle CDX data input to
STDINfrom pipe - Support Internet Archive Petabox web item summarization
- Support Wayback Machine CDX Server API summarization
- Seamless authorization to Internet Archive via the
iaCLI tool - Human-friendly summary by default, but support summarized or detailed JSON reports
- Self-aware, as the input can be a previously generated JSON report in place of CDX data
- Summary includes:
- An overview of numbers of captures, consecutive unique URIs, unique hosts, accumulated WARC records size, and the first and last datetimes
- A grid of media types and status codes and their respective capture counts
- A grid of path and query segment length and their respective capture counts
- A grid of year and month and their respective capture counts
- Top-N (configurable) hosts and their capture counts
- A random sample of N (configurable) memento URIs for
200 OKHTML pages
$ cdxsummary --help
usage: cdxsummary [-h] [-a [QUERY]] [-i] [-j] [-l] [-o [FILE]] [-r] [-s [N]] [-t [N]] [-v] [input]
