Pocket is a "save for later" service, for URLs. Useful for saving articles you found but did not have time to read at the moment.
Copy pocket.py to a directory on $PATH as pocket, and
give it execution rights.
Copy ui.json to ~/.local/share/pocket/ui.json.
Create a configuration directory: ~/.config/pocket.
pocket command line client expects a configuration, in form of a JSON object, stored
in ~/.config/pocket/config.json.
The configuration must contain two keys:
consumer_key: consumer key of the application (you have to generate it yourself)access_token: OAuth access token given to you by Pocket
You have to register a new pocket application to get a consumer key. Instructions: http://getpocket.com/developer/apps/new
Why do you have to register a new application?
This project is just a simple tool to fetch list of saved Pocket articles, and add new ones; from the command line. I published this tool in hope that it may be useful, but do not think about it as a typical "user-friendly" program - so I do not want to bind all the requests to my consumer key. I trust that every person interested in a command line Pocket client is also capable of registering a new pocket application, and handling their own keys.
You have to authorise the application to access your Pocket account, and get the access token from Pocket. Instructions: https://getpocket.com/developer/docs/authentication
Why isn't an access token generated automatically by the program?
I'd be happy to receive a pull request for this. This is a simple tool, and I just did not want to spend time implementing more than the useful minimum of functionality.
