- getting recent posts from pinboard machine-readably
- ---------------------------------------------------
-
- I've been experimenting again with using Pinboard to track links of interest,
- and thought that maybe it'd be a good idea to use these to add a linkblog back
- to p1k3.
-
- First I thought ok, there's probably an API, which, sure enough, [is
- true][api]. Here's a one-liner that will grab JSON of recent posts by
- a user:
-
- curl "https://brennen:[brennen's password goes here]@api.pinboard.in/v1/posts/recent?count=25&format=json"
-
- ...but then I thought ok, this is dumb. I know there's RSS, so why not just use
- a standard format that could pull from other sources as well?
-
- curl https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/u:brennen/
-
- Further thoughts: Instead of doing this dynamically on the server, I could
- just periodically pull data into the p1k3 archives and render it using some
- service. I'm getting ever-more leery of running any dynamic code where I don't
- have to, and even considering rewriting all of the p1k3 stuff to generate
- static files instead of building pages on the fly, so maybe this would be a
- good experiment.
