Archived links retrieval

Help

I am a teacher and I have lost about twenty records that have been archived. I kept all the links. Is there a way to get them back?

They’ve been now unarchived (check your email) :slight_smile:

Is there any chance to unarchive my record and bind to my account.
This is a tetris game between two routers recorded in 2013, Dec:)

Any chance you can unarchive mine? Here is the URL https://asciinema.org/a/epC3MGuQwvMiTskfkhBIlKmDL.js

Hi! I am a teacher as well. I need to be able to continue using this recording:

asciinema.org/a/lQG03ix32oJ1Z0pcyPQ0vqGgy.js

Could you please unarchive this recording?

Thanks!

If you guys wanted to keep your content online forever (until proven otherwise) you should simply register and authenticate your recorder / token combination. Simple, no?

Another idea if you really don’t want to register…

Use web.archive.org so save/archive a copy of the website page (your cast) whenever you upload. Then, fetch it from over there.

Uploaded this from a ephemeral VM so I have no other way of recovery. Thanks.

You could also send your cast to a pastebin service like https://0x0.st/ and use the url to play…

All of the above recordings were already recovered a while ago.

Since the last post here there were several asciinema CLI and server releases, hopefully making it more clear one needs to authenticate the CLI with their asciinema.org account in order to preserve the recordings. One of those improvements is a big warning message printed in your terminal when you upload from an unauthenticated CLI.

Also, the new docs site also tries to mention the auth/auto-deletion behavior on every possible occasion, starting from the Getting started guide, and explaining it in more detail in asciinema upload / asciinema auth (plus mentioning it few other places).

I hope this improves the situation :crossed_fingers:

Btw, this recent PR implements 2-step deletion of unclaimed recordings: Make automatic deletion of unclaimed recordings a 2-step process by ku1ik · Pull Request #426 · asciinema/asciinema-server · GitHub

On asciinema.org it’s configured to do soft-delete (what we called “archival” so far) after 7 days, then do hard-delete (irrecoverable) after 90 days.
