download_pinboard

Download your Pinboard bookmarks as webloc files with Mac OS X tags.

Setup

Create a settings file

`cp settings.py{.example,}`

with the following information

_PINBOARD_TOKEN = 'YOUR TOKEN HERE'
_SAVE_PATH = HOME + '/Bookmarks/'

In settings.py set your Pinboard token and the path where you want your bookmarks to be saved. Your token can be found at https://pinboard.in/settings/password. The path must exist where you save your bookmarks and must end with a traling /.

Running the script

To start the script, you can simply do

python main.py

By default, the script will only download new bookmarks from the last time the script was run.

Optional arguments

-v, --verbose Shows output as stdout
--reset [optional num of days] Resets your last updated time. If you don't specifiy a number, it will reset to 10000 days.
-t Filters the bookmarks you want to download by tag. You can pass multiple -t tags, but no more than 3. Multiple tags are AND not OR
--skip-update Lets you bypass the last downloaded time. Nice for redownloading everything.

Notes

• I don't have a lot of bookmarks (~150) and so I don't know what Pinboard will do if you request a ton of bookmarks for the initial download. If you have a lot of bookmarks and hit any weird errors, please let me know.
