Overview

The /8.-b2b-protocols interface provides secure, standardized pathways for organizations to integrate with the 1990 Web Archive. Whether you're migrating legacy EDI systems, reconstructing early corporate web portals, or building historical analytics pipelines, our protocol suite ensures seamless data extraction with full cryptographic verification.

All connections support dual-mode operation: Legacy Emulation (faithful recreation of 1990s handshake & transfer behaviors) and Modern Secure Transit (TLS 1.3, OAuth 2.0, and rate-limited REST/GraphQL endpoints).

Supported Protocols

HTTP/1.0 & 1.1 LEGACY

Exact replica of early web server responses. Includes archived headers, MIME quirks, and Netscape-compatible framing.

FTP / FTPS SECURE

Binary and ASCII mode transfers for bulk archive extraction. Supports passive mode and modern SFTP fallback.

REST API v3 MODERN

JSON-first endpoints for granular querying. Supports temporal filters, snapshot retrieval, and diff generation.

Gopher & NNTP LEGACY

Deprecated but fully emulated for academic research. Gateways provided for modern client compatibility.

GraphQL Archive MODERN

Flexible schema for complex historical queries. Traverse link graphs, extract metadata, and reconstruct site trees.

EDI-to-JSON Bridge ENTERPRISE

Automated parsing of historical B2B transaction logs (ANSI X12, EDIFACT) into structured archival records.

Integration Example

Authenticate via API key and query a specific temporal snapshot:

// Initialize B2B Archive Client import { ArchiveClient } from '@1990webarchive/sdk'; const client = new ArchiveClient({ protocol: '/8.-b2b-protocols', auth: process.env.ARC_VAULT_KEY, mode: 'dual-emulation' }); // Retrieve corporate portal snapshot (1997) const snapshot = await client.query({ domain: 'legacy-corp.example.com', temporal: '1997-Q3', format: 'html-faithful', include_assets: true }); console.log(snapshot.metadata); // { status: 'verified', checksum: 'sha256:8f9a...', links: 142 }
