Whenever I'm reading something on Reddit/HackerNews/etc that I think is going to be relevant later, I hit my Archive.org bookmarklet:

javascript:void(open('//web.archive.org/save/'+encodeURI(document.location)))

Which immediately saves the page to the Internet Archive. I haven't had time to look into if the Internet Archive has an API you can issue a URL to and it will fetch the content in the same way as above.

I do the same thing, except as of yet, I can find no way to search old site grabs in the wayback machine. AFAIK, the content is not indexed. You have to know it is there.

This is a good point. Added to my research list.

Wouldn't it just be javascript:void(open('//web.archive.org/web/*/encodeURI(document.location))) ?
