James Gallagher in Elk: "I love that @readeck has a well doc..."

I love that @readeck has a well documented API. It means that someone like me with rudimentary enough Python skills can do stuff. By stuff I mean send my Mastodon bookmarks to a Readeck collection and also work with them in bulk (operations like marking things as read and archiving)

@james @readeck Could you please publish or share the code?
Thanks!

@inigo @james @readeck

ooo! I'd be interested to see how you're doing that too :-)

@TheDragon @inigo @readeck

I’ll try to tidy it up a bit and share it then - it’s not good programming so be prepared to be horrified

@TheDragon @inigoHere it is https://github.com/jamesgallagher-ie/mastodon-bookmarks-to-readeck . Dropped Readeck off this reply as they don't need to see what I'm doing with their lovely API :D

@james @TheDragon Very interesting, thanks a lot!
I'm not a developer either, so all code that works looks beautiful to me ;-)

Replying to someone

@james @inigo thank you James!! I'll have to give this a try

@TheDragon @inigo If you just want to go Mastodon bookmarks -> Readeck you probably want to drop the MongoDB bit (which will make life simpler) and maybe put the max_id value in a file instead
