Using AI to Determine Last Update Date of a Website

Is there a way to use AI tell when a website was last updated? I mean when it was last re-designed. Perhaps a prompt that tells AI what to look for on a website to make an educated guess when it was last redone? I'm hoping to find a way to do this without having to scrape the way back machine.

Hey! While AI could make guesses, the Wayback Machine API would give you way more accurate data about website history. Here's how to use it: Go in the enrichment panel by clicking the "add enrichment" button at the top right of the page and add the HTTP API Method: GET Endpoint: http://web.archive.org/web/date/website/ For example: http://web.archive.org/web/20030930231814/http://www.thecribs.com/ From there you can use the Analyze Image integration to know if there was changes or no More on their endpoint Let me know if you'd like me to show you how to set this up in Clay! 😊

I'm trying to prototype this now, but haven't been able to crack it. I haven't been able to convert the 200 response from WayBackMachine via Clay into something I can analyze. Some sort of a demo would be super helpful.

Do you mind sending the link to the table so we can take a look? https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1171717996/ac7729f84b426e1d0358af02/image.png?expires=1733580900&signature=ce00b158d5d1d5f14821db3f4815269fcf1a884f37bf1dd4dc8439532f445ae5&req=dSEgF85%2FmohWX%2FMW1HO4zYTywSj5Dpcf2BKsam%2FhVPt1YQ%3D%3D%0A

This is my demo table where I'm testing the way back machine: https://app.clay.com/workspaces/250844/tables/t_VAvDeYUqaVXS/views/gv_ZEYkZkwQX4FZ

Hey! There was a bit of changes on their end but I've fixed it and Ican help break down how to set this up with the Wayback Machine in Clay. I'll walk you through exactly what we need to do. Here's the working flow: 1. First we grab a year's worth of snapshots 2. Find the first successful snapshot (status 200) 3. Pull out that timestamp 4. Build the screenshot URL 5. Repeat this process for each year you want 6. Then we can analyze those captured images It's already in your table as well
