Fetch a URL via the latest Wayback Machine Snapshot.

## Why?

Occasionally, you have a given URL that it is not online anymore. You may still access it's content via the Internet Archive's [Wayback Machine](https://archive.org/web/).

## Install

```bash

pip install get_wayback_machine

```

## Usage

```python

import get_wayback_machine

response = get_wayback_machine.get('https://en.wikipedia.org')

if response:

    print(response.status_code)

```

The response is either `None` (for fails) or a [Requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/) response. This module uses [get-retries](https://github.com/jfilter/get-retries) internally to fetch the data.
