Export your bookmarks from Pinboard

Export your bookmarks from Pinboard

Setting up

1. The easiest way is pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/karlicoss/pinbexport.

   Alternatively, use git clone --recursive, or git pull && git submodule update --init. After that, you can use pip3 install --editable.

2. Get your Pinboard token from password page.

Exporting

Usage:

Recommended: create secrets.py keeping your api parameters, e.g.:

token = "TOKEN"

After that, use:

python3 -m pinbexport.export --secrets /path/to/secrets.py

That way you type less and have control over where you keep your plaintext secrets.

Alternatively, you can pass parameters directly, e.g.

python3 -m pinbexport.export --token <token>

However, this is verbose and prone to leaking your keys/tokens/passwords in shell history.

You can also import export.py this as a module and call get_json function directly to get raw JSON.

I highly recommend checking exported files at least once just to make sure they contain everything you expect from your export. If not, please feel free to ask or raise an issue!
