You bookmark in pinboard and think "Hey, it would be a really cool idea if I could put my pinboard bookmarks in to a blog post". You use a static site generator for your blog, so fancy Wordpress or Blogger plugins won't help you. If this is you, then this is the project that will make your pinboard blog posting dreams come true.
Clone this repository. Then
pip -r requirements.txt
Simples. First ./init to generate your config file.
Then you adjust the settings in config.py to your liking and run python pinboard-poster and away you go.
Run once a week. I'd recommend automating this with a cron job, through launchctl or however else you might want to launch it.
Edit and review your Markdown file and checking it once weekly before you go. Push to your blog however you normally push new posts.
Your Pinboard API token can be found on the "Passwords" page in Pinboard
PINBOARD_API_TOKEN = "foo"
Add the tag of items that you want pinboard-poster to post
PINBOARD_TAG = "blog"
How many days of links do you want to publish?
DAYS = 7
Adjust the filename of your post by modifying the prefix
POST_FILENAME_PREFIX = "bookmarks-"
The date of the post will be appended to that prefix to make the full filename
To change the path where you would like to add post to be generated...
POST_PATH = "../blog/content/notable/"
Note: Don't use
~. Use an absolute or relative path
This will be the title of your post...
POST_TITLE_PREFIX = "My pinboard bookmarks for"
POST_TITLE_PREFIX + The Date. As in "17 May"
You can also change the post author:
POST_AUTHOR = "Dave"
or post category:
POST_CATEGORY = "Notable"
or tags:
POST_TAGS = "pinboard, bookmarks, notable"
or the summary:
POST_SUMMARY = "Things of note that were discovered on the web this week."
