Megalodon is an on demand web citation service based in Japan.[2]

Overview

One of Megalodon's aims is to enable people to make copies of web pages to quote as part of public discourse.[3] For example, to provide an earlier copy of a terms and conditions page for comparison when an update is announced.[4][5] It is also used to cite web resources.[6]

Megalodon's server can be searched for "web gyotaku" or copies of web pages, by prefixing any URL with "gyo.tc"; the process checks the query against other services as well, including Google's cached pages and Mementos.[7]

On 12 November 2010, Afility revealed that all files copied before the first half of 2007 were lost because of a malfunction in their backup process.

Megalodon does not archive sites which include a "noindex" or "noarchive" tag in the robots.txt file.[8]
