Install and run

otlite install auto-archiver
Installs auto-archiver==1.2.9 into its own virtualenv. otlite lists what it will install and asks before it starts.
otlite run auto-archiver -- url:https://example.com
auto-archiver receives auto-archiver --url https://example.com

Linux and macOS, no Docker. It uses your Python and pipx when both are there, and otherwise brings its own Python. About otlite · otlite docs

Before you run it

Dual-use. otlite prints this before installing it: You are solely responsible for how you use these tools and for complying with all applicable laws. Use them only on targets you are authorized to investigate.
Needs a login or API key. Set it up before the first lookup; batch runs skip it unless you pass --include-credentialed.
Needs Python older than 3.13. Its dependency pdqhash has no wheel for 3.13 or newer and needs a C++ compiler. otlite checks your Python before installing and says which version to use; otlite doctor lists the tools your Python can't run.

What it takes

Typed inputs after -- become Auto Archiver's own arguments. Anything else after -- passes through unchanged, so every option of the tool still works.

Input	With otlite	`auto-archiver` receives
URL`url:`	`otlite run auto-archiver -- url:https://example.com`	`auto-archiver --url https://example.com`

API keys

All optional: Auto Archiver runs without them and uses each one you set. otlite keys set asks for the value without showing it and saves it in ~/.otlite/.env, readable only by you. Each tool receives only the keys it declares, and values never appear in logs or results.

Key	Needed	Set it
`GOOGLE_API_KEY`	Optional	`otlite keys set GOOGLE_API_KEY`
`GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS`	Optional	`otlite keys set GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS`
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`	Optional	`otlite keys set AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`	Optional	`otlite keys set AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`

What a run leaves

Every run is saved under results/ where you run otlite (or --output, or OTLITE_RESULTS_DIR): what the tool printed, a sidecar with how it ran, and an envelope.

results/auto-archiver/https_example.com/<time>_auto-archiver_https_example.com_<run id>.txt
results/auto-archiver/https_example.com/<time>_auto-archiver_https_example.com_<run id>.meta.json
results/auto-archiver/https_example.com/<time>_auto-archiver_https_example.com_<run id>.envelope.json

{
  "envelope": 1,
  "tool": "auto-archiver@1.2.9",
  "runtime": "otlite",
  "input": { "target": "https://example.com" },
  "case": null,
  "started_at": "…", "ended_at": "…", "duration_ms": …,
  "exit_code": 0,
  "status": "complete",
  "entities": [{ "type": "url", "value": "…" }, …],
  "warnings": [],
  "output": { "path": "results/auto-archiver/https_example.com/<time>_auto-archiver_https_example.com_<run id>.txt", "sha256": "…", "bytes": … }
}

The envelope's shape, the same for every tool; values elided. Its entities are the emails, domains, IP addresses and URLs found in the output, or the tool's own when it prints them.

otlite results --tool auto-archiver

otlite extract auto-archiver

otlite diff auto-archiver https://example.com

List the saved runs, pull out every indicator, or compare the two latest runs against the same target.

With other tools

Batch runs skip it: needs API keys or setup; pass --include-credentialed.
