Regarding archiving
Just randomly requesting TinyURLs like you propose will get you banned since you are making many requests for non-existent TinyURLs. We do allow bots to crawl TinyURLs, but only if they are crawling TinyURLs that exist which they pulled from whatever source they are crawling.

A Problem Easily Solved
Just provide for us an excel spreadsheet in the form of:
tinyurl ID | full URL
And scraping won't be necessary. Up for it?

- I e-mailed the TinyURL owner and he replied with that. He didn't write the above statement.
