Yahoo-answers-to-Wayback-Machine

Now that Yahoo! will close the answers site i created this program that takes a list of Yahoo answers

   $ python3 main.py

Links should be in text file named "yahoo_links.txt" with the links in a list:

https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=[something]
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=[something_2]
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=[something_3]

Then, the program will take each page and save it to the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive

The program will save the errors (not saved links) in wayback_errors.txt and and the wayback machine links in wayback.txt

The program is specially useful if you have saved links from Pocket, Wallabag or any site agreggator

The program uses the powerfull library savepagenow from pastpages
