Pinboard-To-Trello

A utility to create cards in a reading board in Trello out of new items saved to Pinboard.

History

This is based on the OrBin/Pocket-To-Trello project, which I already modified with mschuett/Pocket-To-Trello. Now I "only" replaced the Pocket part with Pinboard. The functions stay the same:

• I use a specific tag reblog in Pocket,
• I want Pinboard-To-Trello to copy those items to Trello,
• After an item is copied it is deleted from Pinboard.

Differences to the Pocket version:

• Pinboard does not have an 'archive' function, so items are immediately deleted from your pinboard list after they are copied,
• Pinboard does not have images in bookmarks, so there are no images/thumbnails imported to Trello either.

Usage

Installing requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

Get Trello API key

Visit Trello to get your Trello API key and save it for later use.

Get Pinboard API token

Visit Pinboard to get your Pinboard API key and save it for later use.

Creating a configuration file

A configuration file config.json should be placed in the same directory as the code files.

Here is an example of how the initial configuration file should look:

{
  "authentication": {
    "pinboard_api_token": "YOUR-PINBOARD-API-TOKEN",
    "trello_api_key": "YOUR-TRELLO-API-KEY",
  },
  "trello_list_id": "YOUR-TRELLO-LIST-ID",
  "pinboard_tag": "reblog"
}

Authorizing with Trello (Should be done only once)
