# How to Verify Historical Claims with OpenClaw

OpenClaw applies web archive capabilities to systematic historical analysis at scale, treating web history research as a structured data operation. Batch-check availability across multiple URLs, collect snapshots from specific date ranges, and produce structured timelines that can feed into competitive intelligence reports, compliance documentation, or legal evidence packages. Built for repeatable research workflows where you need consistent, comprehensive output across dozens of URLs rather than one-off exploratory lookups.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask OpenClaw: "Check if company.com/announcement was live on June 1, 2024 using web-archive"
3. OpenClaw checks for archived snapshots
4. Request: "What did the page say at that time?"
5. Use the archived content to verify or refute the claim

## Example Prompt

```
Someone claims a particular blog post was published in March 2024. Check the Wayback Machine to verify when it actually appeared.
```

## Tips

- Look for the earliest snapshot of a page to establish when it first appeared
- Cross-reference multiple snapshots to establish a timeline
- Archive evidence is strongest when it shows consistent capture history
