backup/export saved stories

New Post

Doing my weekly online data backups, while exporting my feeds via OPML, I realize I'd *really* like to backup the URLs of my saved items.

A simple CSV or even flat text file would suffice, though something json/RSS/Atom structured would work just fine, of course.

If you like json, you can get it (a page at a time) from the API:

https://www.newsblur.com/reader/starr...
https://www.newsblur.com/reader/starr...

etc., and there are per-tag RSS feeds that you can find by right-clicking the tags.

An RSS feed of *all* saved stories would be the most useful to me, though I don't believe this exists yet.

Hrm, I wonder why this doesn't work:




jsled@phoenix [~/tmp/nb]$ curl --cookie-jar cookies -d username=jsled -d password=secret http://www.newsblur.com/api/login


{"code": 1, "authenticated": true, "errors": null, "result": "ok"}


jsled@phoenix [~/tmp/nb]$ curl --cookie-jar cookies http://www.newsblur.com/reader/starred_stories


{"authenticated": false, "stories": [], "result": "ok", "feeds": {}, "message": null, "user_profiles": []}
