Consults datasetter pleiades dataset for places modified within a certain time frame, then checks those pleiades URIs live on the web to make sure the place hasn't been withdrawn or deleted, then checks the internet archive to see if their snapshot of that page has been updated since the last pleiades revision and, if not, asks internet archive to grab a new snapshot.

Run it like:

python waybackit.py

That will run silently. To get some feedback, try:

python waybackit.py -v

By default, the script looks back over the past week. If you want to change that horizon:

python waybackit.py -s 2022-07-20

There are more options:

python waybackit.py -h
                    [-f FROM] [-u USERAGENT]
