I'm fiddling around with the Altmetric API (since we have access at $work). I sampled 12,109 DOIs (not random) from our database of publications by Stanford authors. 8,797 (73%) have Altmetric data. Altmetric have different categories of citations that they track: facebook, blogs, twitter, bluesky, news, etc.

@acdha@code4lib.social nice, happy to jump on a zoom sometime to chat about it -- browsertrix-crawler gets a lot of attention from Webrecorder since their https://webrecorder.net/browsertrix/ service depends on it.

@acdha@code4lib.social and yes, the llm bot defenses are a real problem for web archives. I saw in IIPC Slack yesterday that they are considering this as a topic for a technical meeting at the next conference in a few weeks (meeting may be open to remote participation).
Cloudflare has a Verified Bot registry, which I think some web archiving orgs have gotten on?

@acdha@code4lib.social for single page I really like Harvard LIL's Scoop, which I believe is used by their flagship perma.cc service via a celery job that talks to scoop-api, a (closed source?) web service that wraps Scoop:
https://github.com/harvard-lil/scoop#readme
For more than one page crawls I think that @webrecorder@digipres.club's browsertrix-crawler is still the best thing out there. I helped write this howto, which I stand by:

PS. thanks for asking me about my favorite $work thing :-)

@acdha@code4lib.social do you just need one page, or do you need to crawl?

Bernie is smart to have AOC by his side, because she actually gets the political & economic significance of AI.
