Linkdump is a Firefox extension which allows you to store URLs and their title in the local storage until you are ready to dump them to a file or copy them to the clipboard. URLs can be extracted from links, tabs, bookmarks and images. At the moment, the following output formats are supported:
- text,
- markdown,
- HTML,
- dokuwiki,
- phpbb,
- reStructured.
There is different ways to add entries to the storage.
Add the tab URL
Click on the 
icon available in the address bar.
Add a single link
Display its context menu then click the "Add to dump" action identified by the icon.
Add an image source
See "Add a single link" above.
Add a single bookmark
See "Add a single link" above.
Add all bookmarks within a bookmark folder
See "Add a single link" above.
This will retrieve recursively all bookmarks available in the selected bookmark folder.
Add all links from a page
Display the page context menu then click the "Scrape links" action under the linkdump menu item. This will display a filter box used to match links before adding them to the dump.
If the filter is empty, all links are added.
If the filter is not empty, only links matching the filter are added.
If you want to invert the filter, prepend the filter with !.
Add multiple links from a page
Display the page context menu then click the "Capture links" action under the linkdump menu item. Now, all links are captured which means that when you click on one, it is added to the dump instead of being opened.
Display the storage content by clicking the button available in the interface.
This will display also the available actions.
Select between saving the dump content to a file or copy it to the clipboard then select the desired format.
Depending the configuration, the dump can be cleared after completion.
Everytime you need to get URLs either to perform automated actions on them or to display them with their title in a documentation or in a blog post, you can do that without the hassle to switch back and forth between your input and your output.
The text output is particularly suited for batch downloading either videos with youtube-dl or files with wget.
Here are some examples :
# Downloading videos with youtube-dl
youtube-dl --batch-file linkdump.txt
youtube-dl -a linkdump.txt
# Downloading files with wget
wget --input-file linkdump.txt
wget -i linkdump.txtThe markdown output is particularly suited for blog posts, README files, github comments, etc.
The reStructured output is particularly suited for blog posts.
