A pocket to bookmarks.html converter

Pocket-to-Bookmarks HTML Converter

This Python package converts a Pocket export HTML file to a standard bookmarks file format. It extracts links from your Pocket export and creates a new HTML file compatible with most web browsers' bookmark import features.

Features

• Parses Pocket export HTML files
• Extracts link information including title, URL, and time added
• Generates a new HTML file in standard bookmarks format
• Preserves the original "time added" information for each bookmark
• Provides informative logging throughout the conversion process

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• BeautifulSoup4

Installation

You can install the package using pip:

pip install pocket-to-bookmarks-html

Usage

After installation, you can run the script from the command line using:

pocket2bookmarks input_pocket_export.html output_bookmarks.html

Replace input_pocket_export.html with the path to your Pocket export file, and output_bookmarks.html with your desired output file name.

How It Works

1. The script parses the Pocket export HTML file using BeautifulSoup.
2. It extracts the title, URL, and time added for each link.
3. The extracted information is then formatted into a standard bookmarks HTML file.
4. The resulting file can be imported into most web browsers as bookmarks.

Error Handling

• The script includes error handling for file reading and writing operations.
• Informative error messages are logged in case of any issues during the conversion process.

Logging

The script uses Python's logging module to provide information about the conversion process, including:

• The number of links successfully converted
• Any errors encountered during file operations
• A warning if no links were found or processed
