Webarchiver

Webarchiver allows you to create Safari .webarchive files from the command line. Webarchives are a convenient way to store a webpage and its associated files (images, css, javascript, etc) in a single file. It is very simple to use:

./webarchiver -url https://www.google.com -output google.webarchive

Usage

$./webarchiver

webarchiver 0.12
Usage: webarchiver -url URL [-js JAVASCRIPT] -output FILE
Example: webarchiver -url https://www.google.com -output google.webarchive
-url    http:// or path to local file
-js     Custom JavaScript to execute after loading the page
-output File to write the webarchive to.

Do not forget the ‘http://’ if you want to archive a webpage. If no ‘http://’ is present then webarchiver attempts to archive a local file.

Download

The easiest way to install webarchiver is by using HomeBrew or MacPorts.

$ brew install webarchiver

$ sudo port install webarchiver
