MemGator — A portable concurrent memento aggregator: Cross-platform CLI and server binaries in Go

The Memento protocol makes it easy to build a uniform lookup service to aggregate the holdings of web archives. However, there is a lack of tools to utilize this capability in archiving applications and research projects. We created MemGator, an open source, easy to use, portable, concurrent, cross-platform, and self-documented Memento aggregator CLI and server tool written in Go. MemGator implements all the basic features of a Memento aggregator (e.g., TimeMap and TimeGate) and gives the ability to customize various options including which archives are aggregated. It is being used heavily by tools and services such as Mink, WAIL, OldWeb. today, and archiving research projects and has proved to be reliable even in conditions of extreme load.
