Instapaper_ is a tool for saving web pages to read later, e.g. offline on a
mobile device. PyInstapaper is a Python wrapper for the `full Instapaper API`_.

.. _Instapaper: https://www.instapaper.com
.. _full Instapaper API: https://www.instapaper.com/api

To use it, in addition to your Instapaper account username and password,
you'll need to request API credentials from Instapaper.

Usage
=====

.. code-block:: python

from pyinstapaper.instapaper import Instapaper, Folder

INSTAPAPER_KEY = 'MY_INSTAPAPER_API_KEY'
INSTAPAPER_SECRET = 'MY_INSTAPAPER_API_SECRET'
INSTAPAPER_LOGIN = 'me@example.com'
INSTAPAPER_PASSWORD = 'p@ssw0rd'

instapaper = Instapaper(INSTAPAPER_KEY, INSTAPAPER_SECRET)
instapaper.login(INSTAPAPER_LOGIN, INSTAPAPER_PASSWORD)

# Get the 10 latest instapaper bookmarks for the given account and do
# something with the article text
bookmarks = instapaper.get_bookmarks('starred')
for bookmark in enumerate(bookmarks):
do_something(bookmark.get_text())
