Improved Beehiiv Search Experience

These two Bash scripts allow you to easily fetch and manage Beehiiv posts.

Requirements

• Bash shell
• jq (JSON processor)
• curl
• fzf (fuzzy finder)

Setup

Set the following environment variables with your Beehiiv API credentials:

• BEEHIIV_PUB_ID: Your Beehiiv publication ID
• BEEHIIV_API_KEY: Your Beehiiv API key

You can find both on the Beehiiv integrations page.

fetch_posts.sh

This script fetches all posts from the Beehiiv API and saves them to a posts.json file.

Usage

./fetch_posts.sh

The script will fetch all posts from the Beehiiv API and save them to posts.json. It will also print the total number of posts fetched.

manage_posts.sh

This script allows you to fuzzy search, select, and perform actions on the posts fetched by fetch_posts.sh.

Usage

./manage_posts.sh

The script will present a fuzzy search interface using fzf. You can search for a post by its title, and select it by pressing Enter.

Once a post is selected, you will be prompted to choose an action:

1. Edit: Opens the post's edit page in your default browser.
2. Open: Opens the post's public URL in your default browser.
3. Copy: Copies the post's public URL to your clipboard.

Note: The fetch_posts.sh script should be run first to generate the posts.json file required by manage_posts.sh.

Notes

• The open command is used to open URLs in the default browser. On macOS, this command is built-in. On other systems, you may need to substitute it with the appropriate command for opening URLs.
• The pbcopy command is used to copy text to the clipboard on macOS. On other systems, you may need to substitute it with the appropriate command for copying to the clipboard.
