pinboardToPocket

A Node server that syncs new To Read (a.k.a. "Read Later") articles from Pinboard to Pocket. I wrote this software to automatically send my Pinboard To Read articles to Pocket, so that they sync automatically with Kobo Forma, as Kobo supports only Pocket and not Pinboard.

Instructions

  1. run npm install
  2. Create a file called .env in the project's root directory (i.e., pinboardToPocket/.env)
  3. Populate the .env with the following keys and your values. Pinboard's API key is available on pinboard.in on the Settings page. Pocket's Consumer Key is available once you Create a New App on their developer page. To get the Pocket Access Token, run node pocketAuth.js, click through the link in the console, click "Authorize", ignore the google page that pops up, and then copy-paste the token that appears in the console into the .env.
PINBOARDAPIKEY=
POCKETCONSUMERKEY=
POCKETACCESSTOKEN=
  1. Run node index.js

If your access token changes for some reason (security on Pocket's end?) you may have to rerun pocketAuth.js and input the new Auth Token into the .env.

BONUS I run the app with the NPM package forever as follows: forever start -a index.js

Note: The -a flag appends logs to the logfile. If you don't include it, forever will complain the second time you launch it that there is already a logfile with that name.
