pocket-cli uses Python 3 requests to communicate with Pocket's API, to retrieve your list of saved-for-later items,
and displays them on the terminal.
The first time you run pocket-cli, it will authenticate you by making a request to your Pocket account. A browser
window will open (if you're not signed into Pocket it will ask you to sign-iin first), and you will be asked if you want
to allow pocket-cli to access your Pocket list.
After you have authorized pocket-cli to access your list, it will store your access token into ~/.pocket for future
use.
Through pocket-cli's prompt, you can:
[v]iewan item[d]eletean item[d]elete [a]llitems[.] domainsfiltering[vd](view and delete) an item at the same time[l]engthshow only items in a length group[f]ilterthe items by keyword[s]ortthe items based on reading time or time added[t]agthe items with the needed time to read
Viewing an item will open the link to your default browser.
Deleting an item will synchronize the change to your Pocket list.
After you clone the repo, you can either run pocket-cli.py directly, or recreate it like so:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from pocket_comm import Pocket
from pocket_prompt import PocketPrompt
if __name__ == "__main__":
pocket = Pocket()
pocket.authenticate()
prompt = PocketPrompt(pocket)
prompt.prompt()The authenticate() function will make all the necessary steps to authenticate you to pocket, asking for access the
first time, or using the stored access token for subsequent runs.
The prompt() function will display a tabulated list of your items. The prompt line will ask you which operation you'd
like to perform.
