ria

Overview Link to heading

ria is a Rust command-line interface for Archive.org workflows. The project aims to provide a practical, scriptable, and eventually parity-focused alternative to the Python internetarchive CLI while keeping the implementation small, observable, and maintainable.

Ambition Link to heading

I’m building this to become a sharp, reusable tool that I can rely on in real workflows: fast, well-scoped, and easy to operate.

What’s novel Link to heading

  • Opinionated defaults with room for power-user control.
  • Tight scope + strong ergonomics (the “small tool, big leverage” approach).

Highlights Link to heading

  • Provide a native Rust CLI for common Archive.org operations.
  • Preserve important operational behavior from the existing Python tooling where that compatibility matters.
  • Keep the implementation organized by domain instead of growing a single monolithic CLI file.
  • Expose behavior clearly through logging, explicit configuration, and documented compatibility toggles.
