Wayback Machine - Internet Archive

It will return you result in json format, if a given url is archived and accessible in the Wayback Machine.

At my end it does show me:

{"url": "frihost.com", "archived_snapshots": {"closest": {"status": "200", "available": true, "url": "http://web.archive.org/web/20180327035244/http://www.frihost.com:80/", "timestamp": "20180327035244"}}}

That means the latest snapshot of frihost.com has a timestamp of 20180327035244, which is March 27th, 2018.

Thanks for the quality response @tryp4vps.  When I started this project at end of September the last timestamp was in February.  Then at the end of my project when I checked again it had moved to the beginning of March. The snapshot seems to change all of the time and probably will get close to May 11 when Frihost was up and running the last time.  Also the downloads are not consistent.  If you read feedback and comments by people who have tried the script, there is no absolute complete predictable result.  I get a feeling that the Wayback Machine has its own way of dealing with people who are trying to download content without asking them first.  The result can never be completely predictable and will never be 100% perfect. BUT for fun and for just wanting to keep a less than perfect snapshot it's doable.
