To install: edit your engines.json file (Instructions). Note that this lookup engine will return a json file with a link to the requested page in the Wayback Machine, rather than taking you straight to the Wayback Machine. This is because the Wayback Machine public interface uses the Memento API, which expects the URI not to be URL-encoded, but Zotero always URL-encodes it. We therefore use the Wayback Machine API, which allows the URI to be passed encoded in a parameter and returns a json response. (Please let me know if I've got this wrong, and there's a way to pass an encoded URI directly to the Wayback Machine.)
