📌 aiopinboard: A Python 3 Library for Pinboard
aiopinboard
is a Python3, asyncio
-focused library for interacting with the
Pinboard API.
Installation
pip install aiopinboard
Python Versions
aiopinboard
is currently supported on:
- Python 3.10
- Python 3.11
- Python 3.12
API Token
You can retrieve your Pinboard API token via
your account's settings page.
Usage
aiopinboard
endeavors to replicate all of the endpoints in
the Pinboard API documentation with sane, usable responses.
All API usage starts with creating an API
object that contains your Pinboard API token:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
asyncio.run(main())
Bookmarks
The Bookmark
Object
API endpoints that retrieve one or more bookmarks will return Bookmark
objects, which
carry all of the expected properties of a bookmark:
hash
: the unique identifier of the bookmarkhref
: the bookmark's URLtitle
: the bookmark's titledescription
: the bookmark's descriptionlast_modified
: the UTC date the bookmark was last modifiedtags
: a list of tags applied to the bookmarkunread
: whether the bookmark is unreadshared
: whether the bookmark is shared
Getting the Last Change Datetime
To get the UTC datetime of the last "change" (bookmark added, updated, or deleted):
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
"""Run!"""
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
last_change_dt = await api.bookmark.async_get_last_change_datetime()
asyncio.run(main())
This method should be used to determine whether additional API calls should be made –
for example, if nothing has changed since the last time a request was made, the
implementing library can halt.
Getting Bookmarks
To get a bookmark by its URL:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_get_bookmark_by_url("https://my.com/bookmark")
asyncio.run(main())
To get all bookmarks
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_get_all_bookmarks()
asyncio.run(main())
You can specify several optional parameters while getting all bookmarks:
tags
: an optional list of tags to filter results bystart
: the optional starting index to return (defaults to the start)results
: the optional number of results (defaults to all)from_dt
: the optional datetime to start fromto_dt
: the optional datetime to end at
To get all bookmarks created on a certain date:
import asyncio
from datetime import date
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
"""Run!"""
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_get_bookmarks_by_date(date.today())
await api.bookmark.async_get_bookmarks_by_date(date.today(), tags=["tag1", "tag2"])
asyncio.run(main())
To get recent bookmarks:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_get_recent_bookmarks(count=10)
await api.bookmark.async_get_recent_bookmarks(count=20, tags=["tag1", "tag2"])
asyncio.run(main())
To get a summary of dates and how many bookmarks were created on those dates:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
dates = await api.bookmark.async_get_dates()
asyncio.run(main())
Adding a Bookmark
To add a bookmark:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_add_bookmark("https://my.com/bookmark", "My New Bookmark")
asyncio.run(main())
You can specify several optional parameters while adding a bookmark:
description
: the optional description of the bookmarktags
: an optional list of tags to assign to the bookmarkcreated_datetime
: the optional creation datetime to use (defaults to now)replace
: whether this should replace a bookmark with the same URLshared
: whether this bookmark should be sharedtoread
: whether this bookmark should be unread
Deleting a Bookmark
To delete a bookmark by its URL:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_delete_bookmark("https://my.com/bookmark")
asyncio.run(main())
Tags
Getting Tags
To get all tags for an account (and a count of how often each tag is used):
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.tag.async_get_tags()
asyncio.run(main())
Getting Suggested Tags
To get lists of popular (used by the community) and recommended (used by you) tags for a
particular URL:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.bookmark.async_get_suggested_tags("https://my.com/bookmark")
asyncio.run(main())
Deleting a Tag
To delete a tag:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.tag.async_delete_tag("tag1")
asyncio.run(main())
Renaming a Tag
To rename a tag:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.tag.async_rename_tag("old-tag", "new-tag")
asyncio.run(main())
Notes
The Note
Object
API endpoints that retrieve one or more notes will return Note
objects, which
carry all of the expected properties of a note:
note_id
: the unique IDtitle
: the titlehash
: the computed hashcreated_at
: the UTC datetime the note was createdupdated_at
: the UTC datetime the note was updatedlength
: the length
Getting Notes
To get all notes for an account:
import asyncio
from aiopinboard import API
async def main() -> None:
api = API("<PINBOARD_API_TOKEN>")
await api.note.async_get_notes()
asyncio.run(main())
