> HN auto-submitting to archive.org

Can you describe this in more detail?

Not the same person, but I assume they're referring to the "Save Page Now" function of the Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/).

This tells Archive.org's crawler to immediately process a page and add it to the Wayback Machine's cache. Unfortunately there's no public API for this, but it is possible to programmatically submit a request to their endpoint and scrape out the resulting archive link (and I have code that does this, if that would help).
