In archive.org, for a given url, we can see all the available snapshots and we can easily navigate to a specific date.

In archivebox, I have millions of URLs and several hundreds of snapshots each.

How can I view all snapshots of a given URL chronologically?

Wow millions is definitely up there! Highest I've seen amongst most non-corporate users is 200k. It's not really optimized for collections that big yet, so I applaud your efforts!

We don't have a way to browse snapshots over time yet because taking multiple snapshots of a single URL is sort of a kludge right now. We have better support coming this year though, once we move Snapshots to UUID-based ids instead of timestamp-based IDs.

For now you can search by URL, and it should show all the matching snapshots in the results list.

I'm going to close/merge this into #179 for now, as historical snapshot browsing will definitely be part of our eventual full multi-snapshot support. 👍

Feel free to add any particular sub-feature requests or suggestions as comments over on that issue!
