How do you programmatically check if a URL is archived on the Wayback Machine? This would be important for verifying that the timestamped URLs in my blog indeed are available in the Wayback Machine.
Good news, there is a simple, easy-to-use API for doing this. Use it like the following example.
http://archive.org/wayback/available?url=example.com×tamp=20060101

Additionally, the Wayback Machine supports the Memento protocol, so you can use that, too. My understanding is that the Memento protocol is more complex for this simple task, though.
