archived.moe (4chan)
A 4chan archive notable for unusually broad multi-board coverage and a large history. Plan on using the website directly: an API technically exists but anti-bot defenses block automated clients at both the pages and the API. Worth checking when a thread isn't on Desuarchive or 4plebs, though its anti-scraper protections can challenge ordinary visits too; not to be confused with the long-dead archive.moe.
No programmatic check, opens the archive’s own search.
Why it’s useful & how it works
Archived.moe stands out for archiving a broader range of 4chan boards than most alternatives, making it worth checking when a thread does not appear on Desuarchive or 4plebs. You use it through the website, where you can search by keyword, poster ID, or image. Automated access is blocked by anti-bot protections that can also slow down ordinary browser visits, so treat it as a manual backup resource. It is unrelated to the separate archive.moe project, which shut down in 2015.
What’s inside
One of the broadest multi-board 4chan archives available, covering a wide range of boards with several years of history. Exact post counts are not published.
